Shingles is caused by a strain of the Herpes virus. Shegoi (concentrated

extracted Larrea tridentata) was patented specifically for use against Herpes.

A couple years ago, my boss had shingles and just kept coming to work and scratching/picking. Next thing we knew, one of the girls I work with had chicken pox (she'd never had them before). She was out of work 2 weeks & then her hubby got them too. We all told the boss he nedded to pay her since it was his fault she was out. I think he paid her half or something.

[Guest guest]

Lee, to paraphrase, Tabers, Merck on shingles: Herpes Zoster- reactivation

of the varicela virus years after the initial chickenpox infection, most

commonly after 50 years of age. It is marked by inflammation of the posterior

root

ganglia of only a few segments of the spinal or cranial peripheral nerves.

Painful red blisters appear 4-5 days after early symptoms of pain, tingling in

area, general ill feeling, mild chills and fever. The fluid filled vesicles

appear on a broad streak of reddened skin following the nerve root dermatome.

They occur most often on the chest and are unilateral (I've seen them cross

the mid-line though)

It is estimated that 50% of people who live to 80 yrs will have an attack of

h.z. One attack usually gives lifelong immunity to h.z. but 4% of people will

have further attacks.

The infection is more common in persons with a compromised immune system: the

elderly, those with HIV, Hodgkin's and Diabetes, those taking corticosteroids

or undergoing chemotherapy. Blisters that last more than 2 weeks or cover

large areas usually indicate immune compromise.

Duration of pain is usually 10 days to 5 weeks. Some people go on to develop

post-herpetic neuralgia where pain persists for months after the rash

resolves.

(I recently got fooled by shingles, I thought the patient was having an AMI)

Before the blisters appear pain in a vague band on one side of the body may

be a useful clue to the diagnosis. The pain may resemble that caused by kidney

stones, gall stones, appendicitis or large intestine inflammation.

Shingles are contagious to those who have not had chickenpox, until all

blisters are scabbed

Herpes Zoster can also occur in the face and cause blindness or deafness

h.z. opthalmicus- Symptoms are pain, redness and eyelid swelling. If the 5th

cranial nerve, trigeminal, is infected it a can rarely cause uveitis, corneal

damage and glaucoma. Corticosteroids can be dangerous.

Ramsay Hunt's syndrome- an infection of the auditory nerve by h.z. virus

producing severe pain in the ear, hearing loss and vertigo. Small flluid filled

vesicles form on the outer ear and in the canal. It can also cause facial

palsy.

Sheri is out for a few weeks, but I'm sure she'll have something to say

someone like this (when I don't have the facts available) is that the

risks of the vaccine(s) outweigh the benefits for me. So not worth it!

I actually had a doctor who said that she thought that all of the claims of

the chicken pox vaccine preventing shingles were bunk. She said that the

vaccine used a live form of the virus and that she thought that it could

cause shingles just the same.

its very important to vaccinate your children for chickenpox.

anyone who had chiceknpox the immunity lasts approximately 50 years.

the reason its important to vaccinate your next child, if your

natural immunity wanes, you are at risk to catch shingles.

there is risk of 10% - 20% of anyone who had chicenpox in the past

to come down with shingles.. mostly in ages 50's, but it can happen

before. It happened to me. I came down with it in age 32.

shingles is a very harash condition. whoever didn't have chicenpox

can't have shingles., that why the vaccination is so imporant.

here are few links about shingles.

http://www.WEBMD.COM

http://www.aftershingles.com

starmed:

herpes zoster - shingles comes from variclla zoster. anyone who had

chiceknpox has the virus dormat in his nerve system by the spinal

cord. the virus can attack again as shingles even after few decades.

there will be shingles rash and have nerve damage (acyclovir).

treatment includes rest, pain killer, antiviral medicine. 25% of the

victims have permanent damage, as severe pain in the area,

(neuralgia) that can continue as severe pain many months, and

requires pain killer.

medicines for shingles: Famvir, Valtrex, Zovirax

I got Valtrex.

there is no way to diagnose the disease, before the rash appeares.

I had severe headaches and back aches.

very important to know that the medical treatment helps only if its

given immediatelly after the reash apperance, or in the first 3

days. its the time when the virus multiplites, and its the only time

the medicine can help. after that only pain killer can help.

if the rash appears in a weekend, go to emergency room!! don't wait

until monday when your doctor is available.

my husband is a doctor and he was aware of it and I was treated

immediately.

the rash doesn't cause to the terrible pain. its painful like any

regular rash. the terrible pain is from the virus in the nerve

system, and directly irritates it. the 6 days before the rash

appeared i was in terrible pain.

my doctor prescrived vikodin and it didn't help. I got CT scan to

eliminate possiblity of brain bleeding.

then I had stomach CT to eliminate possiblity of stones in kidneys,

and they gave me morphine shot which didn't help!!

all of my disease time I was so weak my husband had to support me

for walking, feed me, and wash me. when I went to the bathroom my

husband would stand to watch in case i will black out.

my husband said I cried in sleep every night from pain. when i came

to the doctor who diagnosed shingles I got demerol shot that erased

all meemory.

everything i am telling here is what my husband told me. I dont'

remember anything.

if shingles isn't treated, it heals in few days. the rash dries and

falls off. but the terrible pain stays for months. that why its

important to immediately treat it.

now its almost a year after my shingles. I still have scars on my

back. due to the quick diagnose and treatment I don't have any

permanent nerve pain of neuralgia and post herpetic.

also I have only 5 poxes, because the treatment stopped them. if no

treatment it can be several or hundreds.

here is picture of shingles. if you are squeasy or have children

with you, don't look

" Immunisation with the varicella vaccine can protect people from chickenpox.

The vaccine involves a single injection for children under 12 and two

injections for teenagers and adults. However, there is no evidence that

immunisation against chickenpox will prevent shingles later in life. " And

that's from a provax site!!!!

Wise doctor! There are many cases of children.. young children with

shingles.. that used to never be.. and these children had never had chicken

pox..

BUT did have the vaccine...that says something to me..........

Well, it is more and more common with the chix pox vaccine out there. Also

concern that less natural chix pox around, the more of a problem. It is

probable that those that had chicken pox and usually would have life long

immunity DON'T have lifelong immunity unless exposed regularly to chix pox. See

my chix pox pages

http://www.nccn.net/~wwithin/vaccine.htm

So, if you do get shingles, see a homeopath as you said.

But usually shingles are in immune impaired (high stress, other immune problems)

Thanks Sheri,

I hope pregnancy isn't making me " immune impaired " . I'll check

Kay,

Do you get shingles IF you've had chicken pox?

Does anyone have experience with shingles? My almost 14 year old son came home

yesterday with a strange rash on the back of one of his arms. It covers an area

about the size of an adult hand, but it's not completely filled in. He has a

similar rash right in the middle of his back, about the size of a quarter. It's

red and raised, and bumpy, but not really blistery. He says it doesn't itch but

it hurts terribly.

My first thought was shingles. I can't think of any other kind of rash that

would be painful. ???

A friend of my daughter's (15 year old), had shingles several months ago. I

know it used to be something older people got, but I've heard of kids getting it

now, too. I'm thinking the chicken pox vax may have alot to do with that.

My son had chicken pox when he was 2. So the vax doesn't apply to him.

Yes. Shingles comes from the dormant herpes zoster virus in the body which is

from chicken pox.
