Shingles - Herpes Zoster - The Simple Facts And The Cures

Article by Robert Benjamin


What is Shingles - Herpes Zoster: Shingles (known also as Herpes Zoster) is a very sore, rash caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox. It affects a limited area of the body and skin. Not only can it be very painful but it can also make you feel weak, tired and many even cause severe depression.

What causes Shingles - Herpes Zoster: You can only get shingles if you have previously had chickenpox. After having chickenpox the virus lies dormant in the nerves, and shingles occurs when it is revitalised in one particular nerve to the skin, this explains the way it affects a certain band or area of the skin. Many times the outbreak is caused by a decrease in your body's natural resistance or a weakness to the immune system. Most people who get shingles are more than 49 years old.

Shingles - Herpes Zoster - Symptoms: Usualy the first symptom of shingles is often over-sensitivity or a burning sensation on the skin in the affected area. After a few days, a rash develops. It usually appears as a band or path, following the route of a nerve under the skin. At first, the rash consists of small red spots and reddened skin in the same area. The spots then turn into small blisters, which dry up after a few days, and gradually form scabs. Shingles is often a very painful condition, since it affects the nerves, the pain may continue after the rash has cleared, sometimes lingering for months or years.

Shingles - Herpes Zoster - Treatment: Shingles is most often treated with acyclovir, famciclovir, or valacyclovir (also named: Valtrex). Your doctor will decide which of these medicines might work the best for you. Most of the medications work better if they are started within the first couple of days after you get the shingles rash. Often a doctor will also prescribe a steroid medicine to reduce the pain and swelling. If you get Shingles of the eye it is often treated with antiviral medicines and steroids.

Shingles - Herpes Zoster - Prevention: There is a study under way for a vaccine to prevent shingles, called the 'Shingles Prevention Study'. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) is asking for volunteers for the study at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Clinical Center in Bethesda, Maryland. Interested people should call for more information: Toll-Free 1-877-841-6251

  1. It's so embarrassing for a kind of person like me as my profession and dignity in my career is too exposed to hide my face . I decided to go to the hospital for my medical checkup,when I felt sick and was getting weaker with some blisters appearing on my face,not knowing have been affected with HSV1. I couldn't have my rest and lots of sleepless nights. I was advised to do away with oiling foods like nuts,grand nuts and consume much of vegetables and fruits like cucumber,carrots etc. I made use of the medical prescription from the doctor with the .....Acyclovir 200mg. 2 tablets every 6 hou,and of fustian cream 15grams and H5 POT Permanganate an,The blister keeps reappearing and was developed into HSV2. It was so sad for me being an Harpies career for 4 years. I prayed to God for the solution to my health problem . I never believe Harpies could be cure naturally with Herbs. I was in church when a church member gave her testimony of how Dr. Dominic Elabe the great and powerful herbal doctor cures her from her 7 years of Cancer with his herbs?it was so miraculous with tears of joy in her eyes how powerful the herbal medicines saves her life. Latter after the service,I contacted her and confess my problem to her about my Herpes diseases and she advice me to contact the very herbalist who can cure me Dr. Dominic Elabe.....the procedure was very fast. As she saw lots of comments about people confessing how there have been permanently cured from their diseases,when I did, I felt so excited,with of live photos and videos of most dangerous diseases by his secretary , real test with herbs. of the more dangerous diseases than mine he cures. I felt I could be cure as well cos I believe in his words,which said all things are possible for those who believes and trust in him. You need to see this man yourself and possibly contact him for the cure to your health.
    His live in his home and you can speak with him at your convenience even on webcam.
    It was not quite long after he assured me my case won't be different all I need its to try its medicine and follow the instructions. I ordered for the medicine and he prepared and sent it through the DHL. I receive the medicine as soon as possible and followed all he instructed me to do. The medicine is in liquid form with some ointment cream I applied on my cream to kill the affected parts. It was not up to a week,I started regaining lots of strength and the blisters on me keeps diminishing each day till I could see them no more. My doctor was surprised as he congratulated me that He can find me Herpes negative. His medicine are very active with active immune booster.100% quarantine.Do not missed this opportunity cos you have a purpose to accomplish,you're alive today cos God wants you to be..think about yourself and family to help reduce death rate not to die,cos of lack of knowledge. Have a blissful day as.
