- @Eastmum .... great idea - pretty well NO BUGS can survive in apple cider vinegar!!
@Cate64 ..... if it isn't rude .... where did you get the shingles? Some get it in their hair, others on their chest .... I hope you'll be able to stop it spreading (I think it follows the 'line of nerves'), & hopefully stop it in it's tracks & then dry it up! xx - Shingles can be so painful @Cate64 - my daughter had them a couple of months ago and she found apple cider vinegar was great. I sat there and literally painted the area with apple cider vinegar, using a cotton bud. Hope it goes away fast!
- Poor you @Cate64 , hope you're better soon.
I too have had an arrr moment , sore throat,headaches , temp, coughing so much my ribs & chest feel like I've spent a week in the gym !! Just a cold but I need it to be gone !! Sons wedding this weekend & I'm on holidays !! Can't win !
All the best for a quick recovery xx - Oh Cate how frightful! You poor thing. What have the doctors told you to do? Whatever it is I hope it works FAST! K xox
- Bugger @Cate64 - Shingles can be a really painful! :( Hubby's elderly aunt had it in her 90s .... and her South African chemist concocted a mixture of dissolved aspirin in a spirit (don't know what the mix was tho!) - and it was gently applied to the blisters/painful areas. The spirit base helped dry it out & the aspirin helped with the pain.
Just found this ...... it seems to have the aspirin crushed into Rubbing Alcohol!!
And also mentions good old Calendula lotion!!!

All the best - hope something helps 'fix it' SOON! xxx Put kale on it (just joking) but someone is bound to suggest it :) Stop being sick, it's exhausting. Umm, mindfulness, YES! that will do it.....
Seriously though Cate, shingles are not funny and they can fuck you up big time if they set up camp in places like your eyes or your genitals. Best wishes, and try to take a few days off if you can. Bloody awful disease. Mxx
- @JuMuKu lol Charmed fan, can you tell??
- @iserbrown @JuMuKu @Eastmum

Shingles... can ya blody believe it??
6 rounds of AC chemo = felt great, 2.5 years down the track felt so awful i thought, this is it... and its shingles...
Im laughing now - Hang in there @Cate64 - may your demons be vanquished in haste! Feel better soon xx
- I hope you feel better soon Kate64. A rant to us can be therapeutic. I’ve found that a little bit of black humour also goes a long way.
