Gotta love treating shingles

I traveled on Thursday last week with Dr. Simons to the 50th year anniversary celebration of his Man High high altitude balloon flight. He had a rash on his head diagnosed as actinic keratosis by his dermatologist. By the time we got to the Myopain meeting in Washington, DC on Sunday the rash was redder and very painful. Actinic keratosis doesn’t hurt. 

The rash was in the distribution of the opthalmic branch of the 5th cranial nerve. It seemed as if it had to be shingles especially when we used the frequency for reducing inflammation in the skin on Monday and it made the pain worse. The frequency to eliminate shingles reduced his pain from 6/10 to 0/10 and after a total of four hours treatment over three days the redness and pain were both gone.

I put one glove on the back of his neck and one glove on the top of his head wrapped in a wet wash cloth over the rash. He sat at our FSM booth at Myopain for 90 minutes, treated for an hour at night for two nights and spent the next two days telling anyone who would listen (and some who would have preferred not to listen) that his wife had cured his shingles. I just LOVE being able to do that.

If you have shingles or know anyone who does, FSM is your friend. Cheers - Dr. Carol
