Re: Possible Shingles, What To Do Next and Aciclovir?

What you describe wasn't what my shinges episodes were like, but i'm sure everybody acts differently to the same health problems.

Mine was about a hands width band of redness, and sores that were from my left side to the middle of my back. There was plenty of pain along with a lot of discomfort. I did go to the doctor for diagnosis [don't use them for anything else unless it's something physical. Never take their drugs] Had a blood test that confirmed the shingles. Didn't remember ever having chicken Pox prior, but must have based on the pain.

Got rid of mine with continual spraying of Colloidal Silver. Almost gone, but a smaller area erupted before it finally left. Nothing since [2  to 3 years], but told they can return unless you get a vaccination. [Not going to happen]

I think the blood test is advised to know exactly what you are dealing with.

Also you might search the side affects of the drug that was prescribed. [Kidney damage,etc.]
