Re: help! mom has shingles or herpes zoster on her face/ear!!

good morning white tiger!

thank you again for your post!! i was reassured because many of the items that you list, i have already started giving mom -- vitamin B complex and L-lysine etc. i will look into the other supplements you mentioned.

the doctor did prescribe steroids and mom took a 6 day supply of that, and he wanted to give her more but we decided that wasn't the way we wanted to go -- mom also has high blood pressure so it was risky and when she was taking that stuff for 6 days we saw no real improvement.... mom also took 2 weeks' worth of antiviral and Antibiotics ... but she doesn't want to take any more of those chemicals at this point... we've switched to herbal Antibiotics (olive leaf etc.) and i'm trying to build up mom's immunity (vitamin C, chlorella)

mom's also been going to the acupuncturist and that seems to be helping also.. we are seeing progress albeit slowly!

the other day the MRI results came back and thank goodness (!) she has no other major problems (no sign of stroke, no cancer, no other abnormalities) so we just gotta ride this storm out at this point...

we are also doing a lot of massages on the soles of her feet and her face and her back... she loves JOJOBA OIL cos it stops the itchy rashes on her back like magic!
