[0103media]

:cry:

Just getting over flu and now I've gone and got shingles

Its not fair..

Had them last year due to stress and 100% stress and lack of sleep this time

Anyone know the best way to sort shingles out ?

Last year I had to chill for a few days..

[Peter]

Amytriptiline tablets. Ask your GP - it's the only sure fire way. Lavender oil will relieve the symptoms and take away some of the pain. Good luck. 8)

You men and your man illnesses!!

Ive no idea what shingles is but all I can say is wrap up warm and drink plenty of fluids.

Amytriptiline tablets.

?

What's it do ?

[Peter]

It's a sedative anti depressant, but it's used to calm the nerve line along which the shingles effect travels. Shingles is a variety of Chickenpox and is usually along the lumbar sacral nerve line, but the associated pain can last for a lot longer than the symptoms - it 'aint a funny thing to have! :wink:

Don't think I need any anti depressants.. I'm very happy guy..

Just been out to much and ran myself down..

Getting old you see.. not 17 anymore
