Crisco shortening will relieve pain caused by shingles, as will breaking open a Vitamin C capsule. I broke out with them once on a family trip to Tennessee to visit relatives. I was 9 years old and my pain was making the trip UNBERABLE for my parents and me. An older lady from way back in the hills told us about the shortening and as soon as they rubbed it on me, I was soothed and playing. Just rub it on the area and re-apply when the pain or itching returns. The vitamin C caps work but not 1/2 as well.

This is a CURE for people who are repeatedly afflicted by shingles. Or if you have had them before heed my advice so you never get them again.
I had been very sick for over a year and had gotten quite rundown. I ended up with shingles that were horrifyingly painful.
When my grandmother heard I had them she made me take lots of B Vitamins. I took B-12, B-6, B Complex and Brewer's Yeast. She told me I had gotten them because my body was depleted of B vitamins and to never get shingles back I needed to keep taking them. I followed her advise hoping to never get them back. Just follow the directions on the bottles.
It has been many years and I have never gotten them back. I always advise anyone I hear talking about having shingles or reoccuring shingles to take them. I have been profusely thanked by a lot of them because they never got them back again.
I do not know how they work, I only know they have for many sufferers. Hope this helps many more shingle sufferers out there. It is nothing you want to go through more than once!
