Shingles Pain Relief

May 31st, 2007    Subscribe To Our Feed

Shingles is caused by a dormant virus known as varicella zoster, which is present in the body of those of us who had chicken pox. Shingles usually occurs in adults after the age of 45 but cases have been registered in younger adults. The disease manifests itself through red little groups of blisters like a rash only on one side of the body. Shingles is very painful and, if not treated immediately, it attacks the nerves of the body.

The typical symptoms of shingles are vague at first, such as numbness, tingling and/or itching and, within couple of days; you will have the rashes appear along with the pain, which yet again can be mistaken for several other conditions depending on the part of the body that is affected.

Treating Shingles

Treating shingles is usually done with antibiotics such as, aciclovir (Zovirax, valaciclovir (Valtrex) and/or famciclovir (Famvir). One needs to however consult the doctor immediately and follow his or her prescription, as it may differ from person to person depending on your present state of health.

Treating shingles pain relief may or may not always come from these drugs and at times separate measure may need to be applied to provide temporary relief. A relatively new way to get shingles pain relief is through the Lidoderm patch, which contains lidocaine and treats the pain from the tips of the nerves providing relief fast.

Shingles pain relief can also be found through painkillers prescribed by your doctor and if the pain is acute injections directly to the spine. Shingles attacks the nervous system and in some people the pain may last years after the disease has been treated.

Natural Shingles Pain Relief

There are also natural ways to find shingles pain relief found in herbs, aromatherapies that work directly on your nervous system and acupuncture. Many elderly patients have approached natural shingles pain relief such as acupuncture due to the fact that it does not have any side effects or because they are already having other medical conditions for which they administer powerful antibiotics.

All medications should be administered only through your doctor’s prescription and never overdose on the painkiller in order to relief pain, as usually that will cause you more damage then benefit. Shingles is a very serious disease that can cause a number of fatal damages to the body’s nervous system and therefore, should be immediately reported to the doctor as the sooner you start the treatment the sooner you are likely to get relief.

Prevention is better then cure and it is possible today with the availability of the chicken pox vaccine. Even though it is not entirely impossible that those who get the chickenpox vaccine will not have shingles, it is a step worth taking to prevent that pain and damage shingles brings.

If you’re not familiar with EFT (emotional freedom techniques) the system of tapping can seem weird to say the least. However it works.

Think of EFT as ultra-fast acupuncture, without any needles. You simply repeat some phrases while tapping on areas of your body. Not only does EFT eliminate phobias, negative thinking and stress, you can use it for pain relief too.

I’ve been using EFT for five years - give it a try with this free EFT package.
