Shingles

[juice]

Woke up monday feeling a little bit secondhand. I put this down to the beers at the RWC (Scot v Aus) the day before, until I saw the rash...
So went to the doctors, had it confirmed and they put me on Aciclovir (5 a day !). I wasn't doing too bad until last night when all of a sudden I just felt steam-rollered. Went to bed at 6:30 and have just woken up...

Feels like really bad sunburn down my left hand side..Has anyone tried lysine as a supplement to help combat this ? Its not too bad at the moment just a nagging pain but it's all the time regardless of what painkillers I take.

Make sure you finish the course of anti-virals and see if the Dr will give you some pain relief. I can't see lysine doing anything
