Antivirals work very well if started early enough for shingles. I’ve talked several friends out of getting that shot once I told them there IS a treatment. Of course most doctors don’t bother mentioning that.

Yes I had shingles years ago. And my GP prescribed antibiotics straight away. It was an early stage so it cleared up quickly.
I saw on the news a MD reporting an increase in Shingles cases at his clinic. He also said he had observed the difference between the cvd vaccine induced shingles and 'regular shingles'. The vaccine induced ones tend to spread wider and become more persistent. So I don't know if antibiotics could still work effectively.
Please correct me if I'm wrong...but I believe shingles is considered a 'reawakening' of a chicken pox virus and, as such, would not respond to antibiotics (meant for bacterial infections). Unless, of course a patient may have contracted a secondary bacterial infection, along with the viral symptoms.
Notice how despite it supposedly being a virus, it responds to antibiotics?
Terrain theory would point out that shingles and other skin rash conditions are caused by the body trying to eliminate things that couldn't be done by the normal ways in the blood.
That's why the COVID jabbed can get shingles. Their bodies are trying to eliminate the LNPs and other junk.
I thought the same thing. I have recently read, however that the antibiotic azithromycin has anti viral properties. That’s why it’s part of the covid protocol.
Oops sorry about that. It was years ago. I think my GP said antibiotics. I don't remember the exact name. All it mattered to me (at that time) was whether it worked or not :-P
The situation was I started to feel sharp pains in my buttocks. No physical causes like falling from stairs. She examined and noticed a tiny tiny spot. Her quick assessment was it could be highly likely to be Shingles. And it was on Friday afternoon before the bank holiday weekend. She felt the urge to prescribe the medication before she was 100% sure after the long weekend. (Certainly I didn't want to go to the A&E in the UK. It's awful there)
Judging from the description of Shingles and I contracted chicken pox in my childhood, I think she was right about the diagnosis.

Hum. And the ole horse paste might work well too..

Great observation.
