Guest guest Posted February 5, 2003 Report Share Posted February 5, 2003 I had a bad case of shingles 5 years ago. It was in my leg and I was told I would always have pain from it. I did not take the Famvir that the Dr prescribed, I used Olive Leaf Extract and many other things. BUT the main thing I did that could help this lady is I went to a top notch acupuncturist. She used acupuncture and electrical stimulation in the nerve line. HTH anne h Does anyone know of something that can be used to ease the pain of the lesions from shingles. An 85 year old lady I know has them and they are hurting pretty bad and the docs aren't giving her anything for the pain. Nice huh? I know what causes them, I just want to help ease her pain. Thanks a bunch to anyone who can answer this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
