cronic lightheadedness after severe shingles

[John66613]

Two years ago I had lightheadedness for three months during summer. No symptoms last year during summer. This year, same lightheadedness at exactly the same time of the year as two years ago with a horrible outbreak of shingles around my waist. I believe the shingles just didn't break out two years ago. It's been 9 weeks since outbreak. Still lightheaded and a "funny" feeling with my right eye. Not drooping or loss of sight, just like a "pressure" feeling. The shingles out break was on my right side of torso. From navel to spine. Nothing around my eyes. Need to know about the lightheadedness. Not really vertigo or fall down dizzy. Just lightheaded. I worry about a brain stem lesion or is this just the shingles hanging on.
Thank you!!!!

No, wish I did.
I have super limited knowledge on the post aids. I'd have to research it. Hope you see some improvement :) Maybe some others will send their thoughts...

No MS...... I have just heard of B1 Vitamin to help with post-shingles issues. I'll give it a try.   Anything else?   John

John,

Hi John, Thanks for joining us. I'm sorry to say - I just cannot say - but you should definitely tell your MD about the eye pressure. These viruses can wreak havoc on your body.
Do you have MS?
