undiagnosed total all over body pain

[kimelvisfan]

i had shingles about 2 years ago and it was horrible. i broke out in a rash and took a prescription. it was on my left hip down my leg and into my i hate to say this but my crotch area too. the past 2 years have been awful. pain is excruciating! i have tried fybromyalgia medicines like Savella too to avail. i may as well be taking sugar pills. it is now july 2012 and its to the point i cant hardly get out of bed or walk . it is in my neck,back,hips, legs. i am to the point of tears everyday. i recently had an MRI and a ultrasound of my carotid artery just for safety reasons. all came back fine. no one around me understands the agony i am feeling. i havent slept for months and have difficulty getting in and out of my car. i work a 40 hour week job and its increasingly difficult to go everyday. i even went to a chiropractor and he wants me to see a rheumatologist. thats my next step. if you have any suggestions feel free to answer me back.

"Vitamin C
Vitamin C is so effective at halting herpes viruses that on initial diagnosis of shingles or outbreak of cold sores patients should immediately start taking it. Most of the published research behind vitamin C and herpes involves intravenous treatment and dates back as early as 1950. In one early study 327 patients suffering with herpes zoster were all cured following three days of intravenous vitamin C, seven reported complete cessation of pain within two hours of the first treatment and they also showed drying of the blisters within one day and complete clearing within three days of treatment. Intravenous vitamin c is much more effective than oral vitamin C to treat an acute or new outbreak of shingles but if you don't have a doctor willing to perform the treatment, take vitamin c in gram doses until relief is obtained. Vitamin c is a potent virus fighter and only 18 percent of North Americans actually get adequate vitamin c in their daily diet. We are deficient in this important vitamin."

Excerpts from the article Shingles: The Herpes Virus Strikes Again...

"Vitamin B12
Dr. Melvyne Werbach, in his book Nutritional Influences on Illness, reports that in a research study 21 patients suffering with herpes zoster showed a dramatic improvement in symptoms. By the second or third day of treatment, using 1 mg injection of B12 per day, their pain was relieved and blisters rapidly disappeared. In a paper published in the journal Geriatrics researchers recommended using 1mg of vitamin B12 injected daily for six days and weekly for six weeks to treat the pain associated with herpes zoster. Pain reduction occurred in two days, even in post-pain syndrome that had continued for months to years. Vitamin B12 taken in sublingual form has been found to shorten the duration of herpes outbreaks and reduce pain.

Vitamin E
In another experimental study published in the Archives of Dermatology, 13 patients with chronic pain caused by shingles received 1200-1600 IU of vitamin E daily before meals. Nine of the 13 experienced complete or almost complete control of pain. Two were moderately improved and two were slightly improved. Two of the patients who gained complete pain remission had been suffering with post-pain syndrome from shingles for 13 to 19 years respectively. This is amazing. If you have been putting up with post-pain from the herpes zoster virus, adopt the protocol immediately and suggest to your doctor that he/she become familiar with this landmark study."
