Shingles - Herpes Zoster
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- Shingles or Herpes Zoster represents reactivation of the chickenpox virus. At least 99% of Americans silently carry this virus either from infection with natural chickenpox or from the live virus vaccine routinely administered to children. From the time of infection until we die, the virus lives within the dorsal root ganglia within the spinal cord.
During the course of a lifetime, principally in those over age 60, something reactivates the virus and it travels through just one of the affected nerves and makes its way to the skin. An estimated 1 million cases occur each year with the lifetime risk of 20-30%. Even among senior citizens the likelihood of shingles averages only 10 in 1000 individuals each year.
Several important points: you cannot “catch” shingles from anyone. Once you are infected with chickenpox or vaccinated as a child, immunity continues throughout life. Theoretically an unvaccinated child could develop chickenpox from direct contact with someone experiencing an acute attack of shingles. However unlike the diffuse eruption of chickenpox, viral contamination in shingles appears dramatically reduced.
In the absence of immune deficiency a person will only develop a single attack of shingles during a lifetime. Shingles will not harm the fetus if the disease strikes a pregnant woman.
Manifestations of shingles are basically limited to the skin served by the solitary affected nerve. This results in the band like blistery eruption extending in an interrupted pattern from the center of the back to the midline of the chest or abdomen. It affects only the nerve on the right or left side, not both. Blisters appear on a base of reddened skin resembling a cold sore or fever blister gone wild. Healing occurs with or without treatment in 2-3 weeks.
Instead of the torso, shingles may involve the face, neck, arm, anogenital area or leg. Facial lesions may extend to the eye and lead to severe complications including blindness. Anogenital eruption leads to especial misery.
While pain generally accompanies shingles and may indeed be present in anticipation of the outbreak, the most feared consequence continues to be post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN). By definition this severe pain lingers for more than 90 days after the skin eruption. Long after the virus disappears, the damage to the involved nerve persists.
Often described as sharp, stabbing, pulsating, agonizing or throbbing, many liken it to being assaulted with a hot poker. Even the slightest breeze or the light touch of a shirt may precipitate a paroxysm of pain. PHN eventually fades but routinely only after a year or more in senior citizens. Alternatively many younger individuals never experience this degree of pain.
Treatment for the shingles involves high does of acyclovir or valcyclovir within 72 hours of the eruption. Arguments continue regarding the optimal treatment for the PHN. Suffice it to say that none of our interventions work sufficiently well.
The original shingles vaccine was a disappointment. At best Zostavax provided partial results and then only for a relatively short period of time. Shingrix the newer vaccine appears much more potent and offers long lasting protection against both shingles and PHN.

Thanks …….great video!!!
What a thorough and informative video
I have to say your summary of the symptoms and evolution of the virus is exactly what I experienced and helped me tie everything and understand what's been happening over the past week or so
Meaning, it started with what seemed like a normal mild cold, but I had a blinding headache. Then a day or two later, I had severe pain in my back, left side, and I thought it was muscular/from poor sleeping position. And then a couple of days later, the blisters showed up on the left side of my back, chest and arm
Thanks again
Thank you...hope you're on the mend

Wow, watching the rash starting to recede within three days and completely vanish within fifteen did it for me, I just used what I talked about and although it actually took 20 days, I barely feel the pain anymore. I just go'ogled Kaena Ramingler's Shingles Solution and it feels like I hit my body's feel good reset button.

I decided to share this amazing testimony of my life and thank Dr Aluda on UA-cam on this forum, because i knew of so many people who will still be having the same Shingles issues, which you are finding so difficult to solve✨✨
Great content thank you
Dr. . My name is Andrew I'm 32 year old half asian half white male. I had chicken pox as a child. I've had shingles a total of 4 times now. On my knee, my elbow, my upper back and neck. I was told that generally it only effects one side of the body. I do have pictures of the shingles. I was told to get vaccinated but why is this happened to often?
I have it and I'm absolutely sure that it is a parasite not a virus. I actually have microscopic pictures of the on day two of the rash. Watch my videos on the GoTimothy UA-cam Channel we will figure this out
Thanks for that very informal lecture.
I got shingles 2 weeks after my first COVID vaccin shot. Treated with valtrex. Should I also try with ivermectin.
I got shingles pains 36 hours after my phizer booster, but because I knew shingles can be triggerd by the vax I Got to the doctor for antivirals when the first 3 spots of a rash appeared, one in front, one on the side one at the back. Though the rash started a band it did not go into the blister phase. I also followed an immune booster regime that included zinc, vit c and d, k2 and lleicene even before being diagnosed. It is a bloody sin that people are not aware of the vaxine connection as most pain can be avoided by peeling your eyes the moment the burning and stabbing pain starts.
Normally fever of 38 degrees for 3 days

I’m pretty sure my shingles were caused by getting the Pfizer omicron booster. I’m 70.
I strongly believe the same. I started having weird symptoms right after the booster. I am now entering the third month and the PHN doesn't get any better. Have tried all kinds of medications and therapies and don't get any relief. Have thought about reporting it to Pfizer.
@@laureanalasfuentes2617 I contacted the CDC and reported it.
