Shingles

I’ve been sitting on the sidelines because I got a bad case of shingles on the right side of my head, forehead and eye lid. Believe me I tried every thing. One of my problems is I am very sensitive to drugs the side effects are worse than the pain. So I was always trying something different. After going through all kinds of pain and agony the pain finally subsided and then the itching started. Every day about 5 pm it would start and keep me up all night. Again I was trying everything that was supposed to help but it all just gave temporary relief and it would wake me up again.

I was keeping my wife up all night with my moaning, even though I was sleeping in another room she could hear me. Finally My wife’s doctor of alternative medicine prescribed what is called Gabapentin 400 MG capsules. And it worked. It took the itching away. It’s for pain also. So if you or someone you know has the shingles, you might have them talk to their doctor about it. The consensus of opinion was that it was brought about by stress which lowered my immune system. So I’ve been taking a lot of Vitamin C, E, Selenium and B complex.

I am now going through what they call the neuralgia stage so I am still taking the capsules. I finally started doing my self hypnosis again and I am feeling much better. It’s amazing, here I am a clinical hypnotherapst and I still fell into the trap of letting life run me. I am a great believer in mastering life and living. But this shingles thing came out of the blue the pain and itching was so bad I lost it. I felt blind sided. I got into martyrism, self pity, self indulgence, feeling futile and depressed. These kinds of feelings never magnetize anything good. Fortunately I caught it in time and now I’m back on track
