My mom and husband have both had shingles. Mom is still having problems from a year ago. Her doctor gave her medication.
My husband will not go to the doctor...he took turmeric (yes the spice) capsules 3 times a day the bottle says 2 capsules once a day so he tripled his dose it worked. If you believe in using herbs Swanson carries this cheaper than Walgreens

This helps a lot---and DRINK--lots of water, till you are floating!------aspercreme seems to help. Oak bark tea helps on the rash if yo canot use aspercreme.....
When I got shingles FOUR doctors did not diagnose it and two were dermaltologists! A friend saw the awful rash on my back when I bent over, and said "When did you get shingles?"
I found I only have an outbreak after I get dehydrated.
