Shingles
Definition:
Shingles consists of a very painful rash that often appears on the side of the body in a narrow band. This disorder usually affects individuals with compromised immune systems. The same virus (varicella zoster) that causes chicken pox also causes shingles. The nerve pain that lingers after the rash has cleared is known as postherpetic neuralgia.

My son, who is 13, was diagnosed with Shingles today.
OK, NOT SO RARE, BUT NEVER GOOD EITHER.
The doctor said that in a child the pain doesn't get severe and it usually doesn't spread too far and goes away within a couple of weeks.
IT NEVER GOES AWAY, IF YOU DON'T CHANGE THE LIFESTYLE, THIS WILL BE A FOREVER THING POPPING UP WHEN EVER THE IMMUNE SYSTEM FAILS.
That being said, I don't want him to suffer from the pain he is already having or give it time to get worse. He said it's been hurting for three days now, and he only just told me because it got so bad. He had thought it was just muscle pain and didn't know he had the rash on his back. Does anyone know of treatment I can give him, keeping in mind that he's young,
on certain medications,
WELL DA...........WHAT YA WORRIED ABOUT...DRUGS ARE OK, BUT OTHER THINGS MAY BE TOO SCARY, BECAUSE HE IS SO YOUNG???? COME ON, I WOULD BE SCARED TO GIVE A 13 YEAR OLD DRUGS.....HECK, THEY SCARE ME......
and
very picky
WELL IF YOU MEAN DIET? THEN THAT IS THE PARENTS ORIGINAL PROBLEM AND BY AGE 13 YOU HAVE A HUGE PROBLEM WITH DIET... AT THAT AGE THEY CAN BE QUITE MEAN/STUBBORN, ETC...
and to what goes into his mouth (herbs)? My friend is big time into
homeopathic remedies
WELL BATTING 0 SO FAR, MEDICAL DRUGS AND HOMEOPATHICS....BOTH LOOSERS IN OBTAINING HEALTH.
and swears vitmin E will help, but I can't find that in any research other than for chicken pox. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
SO YA SCARED TO TRY A LITTLE VITAMIN E???????????????????? NOW THAT IS AN ORIGINAL...JUST BREAK THE CAP OPEN AND POUR IT ON WHERE IT HURTS, I MEAN WHAT THE HECK CAN IT HURT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OR DID THE CHILD GET HIS PICKINESS FROM YOU?
SORRY, BUT I NEVER HEARD OF ANYONE SCARED OF VITAMIN E, ONLY BECAUSE IT WAS KNOWN TO AID CHICKEN POX AND NOT SHINGLES.
FACE THE FACTS, THE KID HAS HERPES AND LIKE ALL CHILDREN IN THIS WORLD, BY AGE 8, THEY ALL HAVE HERPES.
MONO/SHINGLES, ETC...ALL THE SAME MONSTER.
AGE 13 IS A PRIME EXAMPLE OF NOT HAVING THE ESSENTIAL NATURAL IODINE THE FIRST 13 YEARS OF LIFE........................................
I SUGGEST YOU READ THE CHILDHOOD DISEASE BOOK, THE IODINE BOOK AND HAVE A TALK WITH THE CHILD ABOUT HIS DIET AND LIFE AN DRESEARCH WHAT YOU DID THAT PROVIDED A HOME THAT THE CHILD WOULD HAVE THIS PAINFUL DISEASE OUTBREAK AND THEN START REVERSING THAT.
READ THE OLIVE LEAF BOOK, IT COST $5.99, IT WILL EXPLAIN THE HERPES, SHINGLES AND ALL THE VIRUSES/BACTERIA AND READ BOOK I TO SEE HOW DIET LEAD TO THIS PROBLEM.
YOU CAN USE MANY THINGS TO STOP THE SHINGLES, BUT IT ONLY GOES BACK INWARD UNLESS YOU MAKE THE BODY RESISTANT.
