Guest guest Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 Thanks to all of you who shared your knowledge on how to treat shingles. My wife had just started getting the usual burning and tingling sensation on one side of the rib cage and was getting worse to the point that it was felt continuously and she would yearn for a moment of rest from it and we knew it would be just a matter of time before the eruption would appear.There were so many valuable suggestions offered here at this forum. My wife chose to go with lysine, tagamet 200 mg X 3 times a day, 5000 mg of vitamin C and 200 mg of vitamin B comlpex twice a day. She took 4000 mg of lysine spread out throughout the day. The symptoms persisted for the next 3 days and eventually one morning it was gone!! and no signs of any skin rashes or eruptions!! It is interesting that the last day was the most bothersome day for her and we had nearly lost all hope but the next day it was all gone as if there was no problem in the first place. She has had no problem since then and we have slowly tapered the dose down. Thanks again to all of you for your valuable recommendations. Reza FareChase - Search multiple travel sites in one click.
