Shingles

Shingles is an extremely painful, itchy, blistering rash caused by herpes zoster, the same viral infection that afflicts the nerve roots and causes chickenpox. Beyond the initial healing, a high percentage of patients report nerve pain that can last weeks, months, or even years in some cases.

Shingles occurs when the dormant chickenpox virus reactivates in the nerves. The infection can live dormant and reactivate again due to mounting age, stress, lowered immunity, infection, medical treatments or medications that suppress the immune system.

Although shingles can occur anywhere on your body, the rash most often appears as a single strip of blisters that wraps around either the left or the right side of your torso. Shingles often mimics other conditions, like poison ivy or scabies, with similar uncomfortable symptoms of itching and pain.

Symptoms and Signs of Shingles

Be aware of the symptoms and signs that indicate a shingles outbreak and if you’re unsure, call your health care practitioner right away. The earlier you begin treatment for shingles, the fewer the symptoms and the shorter the duration of this painful condition. While shingles may not be life threatening, it creates great discomfort and sickness.

Symptoms of shingles include:

Rash – The most common sign of shingles is when you break out in a rash of painful, fluid-filled blisters, which are often contained to only one side or area of the body. This happens because the virus affects localized nerve roots, typically in the chest, back, buttocks, or neck, and remains directly connected to those exact areas for about 7 to 10 days. Initially, the blisters will be filled with a clear fluid, but after a few days, the fluid will cloud up and take on a darker hue.
Tingling sensations or extreme sensitivity to touch – Tingling sensations are common along with flu-like symptoms that precede the outbreak of the rash.
Nausea – In most cases, the stomach discomfort is relatively mild, yet noticeable enough to signal that there’s a problem.
Fever and chills – Fluctuations in body temperature and the immune system’s natural response to a viral infection may produce fever and chills. This tends to feel like flu symptoms.
Itching, burning, and numbness – usually contained to the areas of the body where the rash later appears.
Headache – The shingles virus will often cause neuropathic pain in the cranial nerves and nerve roots, which will result in a painful, recurring headache. The headache is being triggered by interference with your nerves, a condition which most OTC pain relievers aren’t designed to deal with.
Muscle pain and fatigue – Muscle pain and accompanying fatigue may be present before, during and following an outbreak of shingles. It most often occurs in the arms and legs and they may feel tender and sore.
Eye symptoms – Any changes in the eye or vision problems should be considered very serious. If you develop them, seek immediate medical attention. Untreated eye-based symptoms caused by shingles can lead to temporary or permanent vision impairments, and even blindness.

If you experience a rash on your face, changes to your vision, confusion, or a rash that spreads, call your physician immediately.

Shingles Recurrence Rates

1 in 3 people who have a shingles outbreak will have one or more recurrences with this painful virus. The following statistics show the likely rates of recurrence of an outbreak.

2.8 times more likely in people with shingles-associated pain for 30 or more days during the initial episode
4.8 times more likely in people with shingles-associated pain for 60 or more days during the initial episode
60% more likely in women than men
40% more likely in people who were 50 or older when they had their initial attack

This is a powerful reason to have NeoGenesis Recovery on hand for immediate application if symptoms begin to reappear at any time.

NeoGenesis Products with other Therapies

Vaccines can help reduce the risk of shingles and your doctor is the one to determine if it is right for you. Your doctor will have treatment suggestions as well.

At the first possible sign of an outbreak, wash the area with our Cleanser. Apply Moisturizing Mist followed by our most advanced product, NeoGenesis Recovery, abundant in S²RM® molecules to help support the skin during a shingles eruption. Recovery serum may aid in reducing pain and irritation.

NeoGenesis Barrier Renewal Cream or Body Cream will be beneficial once the shingles are past the blister stage. Apply following Recovery and use as often as needed to soothe the area affected.

Recovery may be used up to four times a day during the initial stages of the outbreak, along with MB-1. Because shingles symptoms commonly last for 7 to 10 days, continue the use of Recovery and MB-1 at least twice a day in the area of the rash for a full 10 days. The healing process will continue, even if the rash improves immediately. After the 10 days, if the areas of the outbreak are clear, add Barrier Renewal Cream or Body Cream to hydrate and support the damaged skin barrier. After adding in Barrier Renewal Cream or Body Cream, complete the routine by spraying MB-1 over the affected area.

If you experience long-term nerve-related pain from a shingles outbreak, people have reported the continued use of Recovery twice a day helps to calm the area.

Reviews:

“Lifesaver for shingles. I’m 28 years old, male. I got shingles last week and was looking for a product to use to help with recovery. Found this via Google and it literally has sped recovery up. I also use it on my face with the Moisturizing Mist spray. Definitely recommend this product!” ~ KC

Product: NeoGenesis Recovery

“I found myself in the most intense pain I have ever felt and had no idea what it was. The pain was such an intense burning and at about an 8 (on a scale of 10). My Doctor told me I had shingles. A friend of mine suggested I immediately use Recovery from NeoGenesis. Within 24 hours the burning was gone and my pain was down to a 3 and by 48 hours I had no discomfort at all. On day 4, I lost the bottle, but since the pain was gone, I figured I did not need to order any more that the worst was over. Oh was I wrong, I woke up on day 5 to that intense burning pain again, this time it was at about a 5. Upon applying Recovery again, the nerve pain was gone in about 8 hours this time again.I would recommend Recovery to anyone unfortunate enough to suffer from this miserable condition. I will never be without a bottle of this fantastic product in my medicine cabinet again. Thank you NeoGenesis!” ~ MS
