    I was hurt at work ( my left side of my head and shoulder) causing CRPS ( complex regional pain syndrome) I have had this for about a year and as of 3 or 4 day ago shingles appared ( yes i had CP as a child) on the injured left shoulder 😢. This was the traumatic incident that woke up the shingles. CRPS and Shingles together are no joke!! For everyone that is going through this nerve pain, im praying for your healing in JESUS name ❤

    The web of the left thumb is the pressure point for the nerves in the right shoulder. But triggering that does not relax the area where the nerve is being triggered for pain. Good for other nerve entrapments in the right shoulder.

    Felt a second time around shingles in my armpit again. It was 6 years ago once. 2 weeks of pain. few nights of no sleep.
    Felt this second time, swelling and small red bumps. Caught it earyly. Wim hoff method the heck out of it. 5 rounds. Look it up. Swelling went down and away. No swelling in the morning and no symptoms at all. Wim hoff is a series of hyper ventilation in a slow controlled manner. Then breath out hold. 40 breaths, out then hold as long as possible. Numb tingling can occur and is a sign it's working. CO2 is expelled and blood pH raises. more alkaline and smashes everything bad in your body to some extent. Keep doing it over and over. Take a break and see how you feel. Lighter and energized is the right feeling.

    My mother had it in the worst way! I couldn’t physically feel her pain but watching her squirm and fight to find a comfortable spot so that she could lie down was one of the hardest things I’ve ever witnessed. I was only 14, my dad had to work and I had to take care of her. I was completely powerless, I still have ptsd from it. She was down for almost 2 months. It was crazy how it can cripple a strong woman.
    Present day, I just left the ER with my dad and he was diagnosed with shingles. But he skipped out of the ER like nothing was wrong. My jaw dropped, like this isn’t the same version. But I’m glad I know now, that there are different versions. I’m going to get the vaccine in a few months. We don’t know if I’ve been exposed since I’m technically my parents caregiver now. So I guess we have to wait and see.

    I caught my shingles within a couple hours of the 1st rash appearing. I went to the ER suspecting shingles, the Doctor confirmed it, and prescribed Valtrex. A week later it's virtually gone with only getting very small pimple looking blisters for a few days. I'm 37. I think catching it so early helped undercut the virus drastically.

    I had an episode of shingles seven and a half years ago now and I still suffer from peripheral neuropathy from it. The rash started under my breast and spread all the way around to my spinal column. I suffer everyday [much worse at night] with pain. I have seen a few doctors and pain therapist but nothing has helped. I cannot to this day stand my clothing to touch this area which is also around six inches wide all around. I have to be very careful how I lay on my side at night as get it wrong and the pain is tenfold. I don’t sleep much needless to say and I am always in pain. When I had the rash it felt like I had been electrocuted when it is really bad. It would come in waves of pain subside then out of the blue strike again. All I could do when the pain hit was to grit my teeth and wait for the pain to pass.Normally it is not that bad but is always there and I am always aware. I do use pain patches which help a bit. I did get the injection on day 2 of the pain before the rash appeared but it did nothing. My doctor told me that if you had a full body of chichen pox as a child then shingles is worse and I am the lucky one. I was also told if you still have pain 3 years later that you will have it for life,then it became five years now 7 years. I hope someday someone will be able to help me with this pain but until then if you can get the injection do so it may truly prevent you from the pain and suffering that I experience daily.

    I am in my early 50's and got the shingles vaccine, in the hopes of avoiding getting shingles since my grandfather had shingles on his head and in his eye. Unfortunately, six days after getting the vaccine I started feeling back and side pain and a rash appeared. I was able to see my doctor the next day and was told that I have shingles. I didn't know this was possible.

    I'm 42 and have had shingles so many times in the past 5 yrs that I've lost count. I'm told that I can't get the vaccine because I'm not 50. I read that the reason is because it hasn't been tested on anyone younger. I would totally take my chances and get it if I could. I'm tired of suffering from the fatigue, body aches, and missing work from it!

    • @LevelUpRN
      @LevelUpRN  Рік тому +5

      You are right about the reason for the vaccine only being approved for people over 50. There does seem to be an exception for immunocompromised individuals… not sure if that is the case in your situation? I can only imagine how frustrated and tired you must be after getting shingles so many times!!

    I began to have feelings of burning and extreme sensitivity going from my shoulder to the elbow and then down into my wrist and hand with shooting pain into my thumb and forefinger. It felt as though someone had hit my hand with a hammer and I kept having to look at my hand because my skin felt crispy burned and tight. I've had a lot of trouble with my shoulders over the last few years, so I went to my Ortho doctor who diagnosed me with a pinched nerve in my neck, gave me prednisone, muscle relaxants and ordered PT for me. While the prednisone seemed to help, I continued to have extreme burning sensations which the doctor said was because of the pinched nerve. Two weeks later, I noticed an extremely painful blister starting to form on my thumb and then another and then a few on another finger and more are now forming. I suspect shingles, but I can't get medical help right now. I'm hoping it will heal and go away on its own.

    I'm 35 and the pain started in my left breast on Christmas after full body joint pain chills and lethargy Christmas Eve that left me crying while staring at Christmas presents I was supposed to be wrapping the pain in my breast/nip and into my armpit got so bad by Thursday I started checking for a lump because the pain was horrific and it was shooting through the one side then I found the rash under the bottom of my lady lump.... And I realized it was blisters and I sent a picture to my best friend who told me to go to the Dr and have it checked. I went to the Dr within hours of finding the rash and had a swab done, it came back positive and I started the antiviral the same day.
    The pain is slowly getting better.

Day three continued extra fatigue and shot site hurt and was swelling. Put an ice pack on it and immediately the pain went away and swelling sent down for only twenty minutes. Definately start icing after getting the shot and ice down the next day. I am sure no one will tell you this.

I never had any symptoms of any kind. shortly after getting the one shot Shingrix vaccine , I noticed right heel always very painful , on fire ,and my right elbow similar getting out of bed . This pain would come and go through out the day for 18 months of this and suddenly stopped, and then jumped up to my shoulder blades all my skin is hot like sunburn no rash appearing like skin beings pulled off the bone. Mental clarity difficult and now ringing in my ears tinnitus, memory is challenging. two or three months now. I am seeking help and have been to several doctors now no answers yet.

It was very very painful and lasted about 3 weeks before I started feeling better. I was left with mild scarring but no pain or nerve damage. I opted to get the shingles vaccine as I do not want his thing to re-emerge

    I don't want to put out false information, so I am putting this out there as an observation. If there are any shingles doctors out there, or people with a similar experience, I would appreciate any comments you have. I suffered a substantial blow to the side of my wrist. Nothing broken, not even a bad bruise. But it caused some weird effects with my nerves running up my arm. Could feel it in my 'funny bone' nerves. Then, almost as soon as it healed, I developed shingles on my arm just above the elbow. There and nowhere else. Hurt like a son of a ^%%*%$^ but I am thankful it was so localized. Cause and effect? Contributing factor? Coincidence? Would appreciate your thoughts. Ouch!!

    I got shingles 7 years ago and cannot go out of the house due to the post hepatic neuralgia that I have on the left quadrant of the top of my body. I have extreme pain so I cannot wear clothes on the top of my body. If I have to go out to the doctor I wrap a sheet around myself and take the unbelievable pain that comes with that. I have done everything to get rid of the pain. I even have a spinal cord stimulator implanted in my spine that helped a small bit but does nothing now. Have you heard that a hyperbaric chamber may help get rid of the pain? I called the hospital and they said it is not covered under insurance. Of course not !!! If you have any information or contacts with someone that is a real expert I would love to hear from you. Seven years of little contact with the outside world is horrific.. I just want to get out of this pain and live again. Thank you for your consideration.

I had never heard of hyperbaric oxygen therapy being using for shingles, but I searched and found this study using HBO with patients with shingles: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23342765/. This study was interesting as well: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33976752/. So there is evidence to show it can help... but it is not at all surprising that insurance won't cover the therapy.

    I can Not adequetly describe the incredib,e pain and agony of Shingles. I had some itchy skin on my back for about a week. One day,,I had a very fevered spot on my back. By the evening, I could feel,a big patch of rough skin from about 5-7;spinal bones and by night bedtime..I was near the screaming level of pain. It was about 7 inches wide and went from those bones, the swollen vertebrae at sdownward angle from the spine to the hip at least 8 to 10 inches wide. My husband had had shingles afre we were we were married and it was on the front and was near his waist. He complained of hurt and also got right in to his doctor as both he and the doctor recognized the description. I Don’t know what the rest of his therapy was now but his side was extremely sore for weeks afterward. And as it turned out,,I had a previous appt, set for the very next day for my my doctor and it was a good thing because between the time I got up and got ready to go to the doctor.I was fighting to Not scream. And then saw that All the spinal vertabrea were very swollen..and tender to being touched even by clothing. When I got into doctors exam room I said I had something broken out on me that wasn’t what I’d returned for check up but I thought I had shingles. And doctor said..oh..? Well let’s see it.,where is it located. Told the doctor and by just that next day,,there was a thick field of blisters popping up and bursting as the same time…and the doctor gasped…and said… it’s shingles alright..and called in all the nurses and staff to see it. And they all gasped…yes,they’d seen shingles before but never that big. Almost as soon as the blisters came up they ruptured and formed scabs over the tops. While doctor discussed what the treatment was to be I could hardly contain myself from the effects of the very intense pain. As it also..happens..my doctor is an integrative doctor and she said.,as fast as that’s moving and the level of pain is beyond any 10…there is a therapy that’s almost like a miracle that we can start right now…would you want to try that…? Would I ever. It’s called electrical stimulation.I was prepped and put on the covered examining bed and all the nurses in the place werethere to help. I was helped into a hospital gown and set on my side and propped up with pillows. Two or 3 yard square sheets with electric wires that looked like small heating blankets, were got out while the doctor used very warm water to soak two large towels… they were laid on the bare skin. Back and front. Then the electric pads on top and the pads were plugged into electricity and turned on. I was then amply covered to keep warm over the whole,body and settled for comfort to stay in that position for an hour. Occasionally I could feel a mild electric pulse on my skin but with no discomfort at all. I was giving the emergency call button and any time I had continuing discomfort,,I was to use the call button. I even managed to relax and doze off and on and the entire hour seemed to go very easy and fairly quickly. Then the whole crew reappeared and proceeded to unload me,,get me dried off and helped into my clothes. Asked how I felt..and big psin was gone..and I was amazed..it was ..almost gone ..so the doc scheduled another hour for the next morning…and you bet I took that one too. Then the horrific pain that I had felt like what I’d imagined getting my body sawed on without anesthetics was like,was completely gone. And the swollen 7 vertebrae involved were also shrunk back to normal size.. it Was .,truly Amazing. It did not stop the process of blisters and scabbing but that amazingly was done in three days and all the scabs began to dry up and fall off then as fast as they had broken out. But the shingles proceeded to crawl around to the front side …top of the hip bone..didn’t breakout as much and didn’t seem tfastened to any spine bones. And they proceeded to drop down to the hip bone in front in a more random scattering. And then.,they dropped down to the lower part of the front hip bone on both sides and even dared the pubic bone. They hurt but more itched and sore than the pain I had started with.
    I told the whole story because some people reading this might have that screaming pain that can’t be borne and no rational usual med therapies may not give any immediate relief. A friend of mine said place she used to work .,everyone on staff passed the shingles around and the big strong men would cry with the agony and groan because of the pain, apparently trying to keep,working when they were considered no longer contagious. They were helpers of a med fscility and were told same as I was, that when the blisters are popping the infection could be passed on to someone else.
    I had chicken pox as a high school teen l,caught from my brother in college when they had a rash of it in the whole college. Had no idea that later we could develop shingles. Also,want you all to knkw..it takes on average many months to be rid of the residual inner pains from shingles. I had them in June andnits now October and they’re still not done with me..the internal disturbances and pains go one and onky slowly let go. I am 87 years old and never want to go thru any of that ever again. Yet….I did nit get the vax…had too many other .,things ..pop up causing trouble from conditions that just grew worse and couldn’t get vax with that ongoing miseries while trying to heal from the several miserable …..things…trying to also heal. So take heed and decide for yourself about the vax…you don’t want shingles,p because you can’t predict how mild or severe the case might be. But do,,remember the ..alternative therapies are available….for some quick pain relief. Also..just so you know..all my vertebrae swelled up and theyr just now going back ti a normal size. Nurses in hospital..fax another of those uneocsted things.l told me shingles miseries do not go away quickly.,they can last for months or many years. Ooh..ugh..just the thought…of Anyone .breaking out with shingles is a nervous pain..which they truly are..inflamed central nervous system….

Is there any way to know if this virus will affect me months in the future?

    • @LevelUpRN
      @LevelUpRN  10 місяців тому +1

      Perhaps since you had the chickenpox vaccine, you may have had chickenpox without even knowing it… because the symptoms were minimal (due to the vaccine)? That is the only thing I can think of!
      The virus stays dormant in your body for life… but can be reactivated during times of stress, illness, or any other factor that decreases your immune function.
      Glad you got an antiviral and hope you recover completely soon! ❤️

I first went to the emergency doctors and she did not know what it was, she prescribed antibiotics, late the next day I felt so bad I went to the local hospital, they said its shingles and it's a shame you didn't come sooner because the medication would have been so much more effective. as it stands now in the 4th week the sores have gone but half my face is numb and the skin feels like it's on fire.

    Only had a few little sores on right arm. They didn’t hurt or itch. However, the nerve pain in the middle of my back ( where I had no rash) and down my right arm is excruciating. Two week now. Can’t keep taking all the ibuprofen and Tylenol. Every 3-4 hours. What else can they give for such debilitating pain?

Mg back is covered in large clusters of soresI only have a few sores that look like a straight line of pimples that stretch across my front side. This where my concern is.Eventhough my front side doesnt have very much rash, it feels like someone is holding a block of ice over my stomach. It hurts so bad, and im so sore. I went to the doctor today, and she called me in antivirals. I just hope ill be ok.
