Do I have Shingles? Symptoms & Treatments - Ask A Nurse | @LevelUpRN

I was hurt at work ( my left side of my head and shoulder) causing CRPS ( complex regional pain syndrome) I have had this for about a year and as of 3 or 4 day ago shingles appared ( yes i had CP as a child) on the injured left shoulder 😢. This was the traumatic incident that woke up the shingles. CRPS and Shingles together are no joke!! For everyone that is going through this nerve pain, im praying for your healing in JESUS name ❤

Thank you very clear and concise with not a lot of beating around the bush. I appreciate that.

Wow, you did a wonderful presentation. I salute you from Nigeria.

Pinch of Epson salts in water 2x day heals most of the time. It's magnesium and helps. Home remedy books mentioned.

Very informative, thank you.

The web of the left thumb is the pressure point for the nerves in the right shoulder. But triggering that does not relax the area where the nerve is being triggered for pain. Good for other nerve entrapments in the right shoulder.

Great video thank you for all the information

Nice explanation and appreciate your clear speech easy to understand

Very helpful 🙏

My mother had it in the worst way! I couldn’t physically feel her pain but watching her squirm and fight to find a comfortable spot so that she could lie down was one of the hardest things I’ve ever witnessed. I was only 14, my dad had to work and I had to take care of her. I was completely powerless, I still have ptsd from it. She was down for almost 2 months. It was crazy how it can cripple a strong woman. Present day, I just left the ER with my dad and he was diagnosed with shingles. But he skipped out of the ER like nothing was wrong. My jaw dropped, like this isn’t the same version. But I’m glad I know now, that there are different versions. I’m going to get the vaccine in a few months. We don’t know if I’ve been exposed since I’m technically my parents caregiver now. So I guess we have to wait and see.

Felt a second time around shingles in my armpit again. It was 6 years ago once. 2 weeks of pain. few nights of no sleep. Felt this second time, swelling and small red bumps. Caught it earyly. Wim hoff method the heck out of it. 5 rounds. Look it up. Swelling went down and away. No swelling in the morning and no symptoms at all. Wim hoff is a series of hyper ventilation in a slow controlled manner. Then breath out hold. 40 breaths, out then hold as long as possible. Numb tingling can occur and is a sign it's working. CO2 is expelled and blood pH raises. more alkaline and smashes everything bad in your body to some extent. Keep doing it over and over. Take a break and see how you feel. Lighter and energized is the right feeling.

Thank you !

I caught my shingles within a couple hours of the 1st rash appearing. I went to the ER suspecting shingles, the Doctor confirmed it, and prescribed Valtrex. A week later it's virtually gone with only getting very small pimple looking blisters for a few days. I'm 37. I think catching it so early helped undercut the virus drastically.
