For future reference. If anyone gets shingles, my dad had a severe case on his side and stomach and he said the pain was excruciating and the only thing that allowed him to sleep was a topical cream called ZOSTRIX-H.(it has to have the H behind it).  A doctor in the emergency dept. told him about it.  Although it is for arthritis, it works wonders for shingles.  The doctor also told him "I didn't tell you about this"
This was years ago so I don't know if it's still available.
When I google this, I find a Zostrix-HP.  It states that one should not use the product on active shingles.  Rather it is meant to be used for the pain that can sometimes follow shingles.

Evidently, shingles is a sort of a resurgence of chicken pox.  If you never had chicken pox you're not supposed to be able to get shingles.  My doctor has recommended a shingles ναccιnє for years.  Officially, about 25% of people who had chicken pox will get shingles during their lives.  I've known several people who have had shingles.  All of them told me that they got a terribly painful rash, mostly on their abdomens, and it lasted a little over a week.  The nurse at the doctor's office says it's really not a life threatening problem--just very painful.

This past year has completely undermined the little confidence I had with the medical profession about anything that is "preventative".  It seems that they can fix certain things, but they are constantly trying to inject everyone to prevent everything and I really do think that there are other agendas involved.  And, frankly, I think anyone who can read what the computer screen tells the doctor to do could be a doctor today because I don't think most of them really know anything.  They just repeat what the computer tells them.  

I've not had this ναccιnє nor will I get it.  If I get shingles, I would hope to be able to apply the suffering for the poor souls in purgatory.
Thanks TKGS.  Chances are I won't get it either.  I remember thinking when I first heard of it that I wouldn't get it.  Of course I was much younger at the time.

Zostavax was the first Shingles vaxx.  It does use fetal cells.  From what I have read so far (which isn't a lot yet) I think this ναccιnє is no longer available in the US.

However, I don't know about the ointment mentioned above by Miseremini: Zostrix-H.  Depending upon what I learn, this might be the better option if I ever come down with Shingles.
Sad to say, I am an unwilling expert on shingles.
If you ever have a painful itch on one side of your body, followed by raised red bumps, get to the doctor ASAP to start on Acyclovir or Valacylovir. If caught early, you may be spared the excruciating pain which can continue for years.
Also, the stress is often the stress of another illness or multiple illnesses, which stress the body.
I have heard of people getting shingles after getting the shot.

Just get enough Vit D, Vit C and Zinc in your diet, and you won't get shingles or any other boogeyman virus that "vacs" supposedly prevent or treat.
It's not all or nothing.
It's do a lot of research and pick and choose.
You sound young. When I was young and grew my own organic veggies, yada yada, the supps worked great.
Things change when you get older (for me it was going hiking and getting Lyme disease). God does sometimes use doctors and medicine to help us. As my acupunturist says "Thank you Lord."

My dad used it directly on the shingles and his was Zostrix-H  there was no P in the name 20 years ago.
There was also a plain Zostrix which didn't work.  This was 20 years ago.
You also had to wear gloves when applying it.
