Wow I can't believe that it has been almost three years since I created this blog when I had shingles and I am still getting views and comments! Well I was very fortunate that my shingles did not leave any permanent damage (no postherpatic neuralgia or obvious scarring). The doctors told me that picking at the blisters would cause scarring, and I kind of picked at them, but not much scarring is left after almost three years. I've attached a photo of where my blisters used to be..you may not be able to tell where they once where! Anyways, I hope this blog serves useful to those with shingles and trying to see a "mild" case of them on a "younger" person. I remember googling shingles and finding pictures of shingles on older people and to much severe degrees.

Well Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!!!!

  5. Dude! Thanks! This helped a lot. It was a guide for me to follow. Thanks for the pics. I am lucky I got a small group of blisters on my ass cheek. Painful, but not on my face at least! I am done with shingles, for now. Hopefully for ever. I am on the scabbing phase. So difficult not to scratch!!!

  7. Hi. Thanks for helping me go through shingles inthe past week. Ive been using your post as a benchmark to compare my experience haha. I have a question for you or anyone following this post and hope that you still use this blogspot. Do any of you guys get small itchy feeling running through your body and eyes sometimws after getting shingles. I went to the doctor after finishing my Acycrovil (5 days, 10 tablets each day) and he didnt prescribe me any acycrovil anymore. After not taking acycrovil, i stsrt getting these weird itches sround my body and sometimes eyes. Is this normal? Thanks

  8. I was born epileptic, but I am now free and cured with Dr Itua Herbal Made Medicine. I was seventeen and sitting at my computer when I fell out of my chair. Only thing I remember is waking up with the worse headache I had ever had in my life. I had never taken medication and I hated swallowing pills but I had to start. I switched between all kinds of medication because I didn't take them like I was supposed to. One day I had just finished running errands and was at my sisters house when I fell to the floor again. I woke up with a bad headache and my 2 year old Niece leaning over my leg asking me if I was OK. By then I had just started college and was one the verge of losing my license. My school is an hour away from where I live so I really got set back because I wasn't allowed to drive until I got my seizures under control. I would love to know how others have handles their epilepsy! So My sister friends Emma Told my sister about a herbal Doctor who reside in west Africa(Nigeria) Because Emma is from Africa as well, My sister told me about it then we decided to give a try. My sister contacted him also tell him about my autism too.he assures my sister that his herbal medicine will cure my epilepsy and my autism, I paid for the herbal medicine then he delivered to Charleston Post office I was called to pick it up which i quickly did, I drank it for two weeks as prescribed happily I went for diagnose and find out my Epilepsy and Autism is gone and today making it 9 Months and I'm now free from Autism, Seizure and Epilepsy, I will continue to share Dr Itua Natural Herbal Medicine works.

  9. May 2019 and your blog is still showing up in search results. Thank you for keeping your experience out there for people read. I'm just starting to research a couple random blisters (literally 5 minutes in) - fingers crossed it's nothing serious.

  10. I know there are still a lot of people suffering from different health issues and are therefore looking for solution. I bring you Good news. There is a man called Dr ROBINSON BUCKLER a herbal practitioner who helped cure me from Genital herpes and shingles, this i had suffered from for the past 2years and i have spent so much money trying to survive from it. I got my healing by taking the herbal medicine he sent to me to drink for about 14days . 14days after completion of the dosage, I went for a medical checkup and I was tested Genital Herpes NEGATIVE. I’m sharing this so that other people can know of this great healer called Dr ROBINSON BUCKLER because I got to know him through a friend he cured from too. I was made to understand that he can cure several other deadly diseases and infections. Don’t die in ignorance and don’t let that illness take your life. Contact Dr ROBINSON BUCKLER through his email........................robinsonbuckler@ ((h o t m a i l.)) com 🙁
