Hey S.,
Have you ever heard of Xango? It's an all natural juice that has amazing pain/skin relief properties. Here's a short 2-part video that explains what it is.

I also found some testimonials of people who have used it specifically for shingles:

My husband had a severe rash attack stretching from middle of chest to middle of back which was probably shingles as it was very painful especially under the arm - and itchy. I doubled up his [mangosteen juice] and also dabbed the juice on the affected area. Next morning both the pain and itching had subsided. I repeated the topical and also the intake. No more symptoms! Couple of weeks later no more rash -

Hope this is helpful -

I have suffered from Shingles the past 15 years. I'd have breakouts in one general are a (always same area 8 inches or so) about 2 or 3 times a month. The pain would last for 3 days and was excruciating.

Now that I'm using mangosteen fruit juice, I am getting almost no breakouts and if I do, it only lasts a few hours...very fleeting! The clusters do not even fully form...it just starts
out as a slight reddening, so I take a shot of [mangosteen juice] and within hours it is gone.

I'm on my 4th bottle and am happy to say that I'm free of Shingles...what a relief!

Sincerely,

Alana in CA

Hi S.-
I am sorry to hear about your mom. I had shingles a couple of years ago and was put on the same med. It was located on my left shoulder blade so wearing a bra HURT. The pain continues 2 years later (as the doc said it could last awhile). He suggested to use the numbing spray or cold press cloths for the pain. Other than that-there was nothing else that seemed to help. Shingles are no fun-good luck
