Guest guest Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 I'm so sorry to hear that. How tough for you. I hope you find some peace soon. Have you look into l-lysiene which i believe depletes argenine? Also peanuts can often be contaminated with fungus or mold or something like that from what i understand. > > Anyone have shingles? Just been dxed. Looks like my immune system must be way down, as I am nowhere near the age when people supposively get them (60s if not 50s). Then again, I was reading that arginine can trigger shingles, and it is found in two foods I've been eating a ton of lately--peanut butter and peas. Still, doesn't help my doc's concern that my weight loss signals something dire, like the big C. > > Also just updating that I'm not moving yet. I was an idiot. I didn't accompany my husand to look at the loft we were going to rent and somehow he missed a ton of red flags (three natural gas appliances--stove, dryer, furnace in one 1000 sq ft living space for starters). Which really stinks because we signed a lease and now have to pay some money to get out of it, and stay here for another few months to save up money to make up for it. I know we need to leave, believe me, so please, no dire predictions about my imminent death, I'm already stressed and sick enough. It's winter; the humidity is low. Sx aren't as bad and I can survive the next few months. > > Arrrgh! Does it ever get better? Poor hubby is burnt out working and taking card of me and not having a place to settle into, after years of living in a construction zone. > > Sent from my iPhone > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 Peanut products should never be eaten, they can contain dangerous molds > > Anyone have shingles? Just been dxed.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 Try something strong 1st like valtrex, But need something to heal the nerves w it. http://www.wrongdiagnosis.com/s/shingles/alternative.htm I talked to another mom who got rid of a bad case in 10 days w high dose olive leaf extract, b6, & b1 or 2. I'll check which one.  C. Eat high Lysine foods. For some reason pork can make the pain worse. Baking soda, oatmeal baths. If you can handle benydryl, helps sleep. http://www.wrongdiagnosis.com/s/shingles/alternative.htm If there's any question microscopic examination using a Tzanck preparation, this involves staining a smear obtained from a blister, cells infected with the herpes virus will appear very large and contain many dark cell centers or nucleicomplete blood count (CBC) may show an elevated white blood cell count (WBC) Read more: Shingles - Definition, Description, Causes and symptoms, Diagnosis, Treatment, Alternative treatment, Prognosis, Prevention http://health.stateuniversity.com/pages/1401/Shingles.html#ixzz140MnNYQ6 Hope you feel better.
