Hey /fit/, recently I was diagnosed with shingles, and instead of itching it really, really fucking hurts. The doctor I went to didn't give me anything for the pain, and everyone I've talked to said he should have. Has anyone else had this shit? What can I do to help it? I've been trying calamine, but it hasn't been helping much.

I too am experiencing shingles at this very moment.

It does hurt, a lot. Itching is what you hope for, hurting is what you usually get.

I've been taking 400mg Ibuprofen (in the form of advil) every six hours, and it has helped me markedly. Depending on your weight you might want to take more or less than that, I weigh am an adult at 145lbs, if you are over 160 you should probably take more like 600mg every six hours.

Good luck to us both, hope you get well soon. :)

Okay OP, I'm also a girl who had shingles.
Calamine lotion during the day, and when you go to bed at night, sleep with no bra and MOTHERFUCKING TEA TREE OIL. I swear to God it's so refreshing you'll cry. The only reason I say save it for night is because it smells very strong, and while I actually like the smell, it's not something everyone smells every day and will turn up their nose and go "What IS that?!"

Hey guy, real doctor here. Shingles is fucking hell. On everyone. There is medication you can take for it, but honestly, its just a viral relapse of chicken pox. Treat how you would chicken pox, if chicken pox was trying its damnedest to kill you. Painkillers should be fine, but be careful not to mix types of pain killers. That can cause dangerously low blood pressures. Enjoy your searing pain, I truly feel for you.
