I'm very leery of first poster links and what appear to be sales pitches. Frankly, it looks like a shill job to me. Do, if you suffer, check the product out via google rather than the link.
Ghrit, I agree. My outbreak has since gone away, leaving only some red spots and some scarring from the worst of the blisters. Not something I want to go through again, but I know i may.
Well there is a vaccine available but results are debatable. Antiviral medicines, such as acyclovir, famciclovir, or valacyclovir, to reduce the pain and the duration of shingles can be used but again the results vary from individual to individual. Sorry
