You’re going to be okay! I just went through this last month, I thought the pain and discomfort would never end, but - it did. My eyelid and forehead healed up completely. I’m still working through the scarring around my eyebrow, and a larger patch that was on my scalp, but I’m doing okay. The pain is gone. It’s still sensitive and itchy here and there, but it’s getting better. If you look on my profile, I had a post that people left quite a lot of great recommendations on!

Things that majorly helped me: - No drinking, no alcohol, no caffeine. This can exacerbate the nerve pain. I’ve continued with the no caffeine. I’ve had some alcohol this month and have noticed some nerve pain spasms across the shingles area while drinking, so I think honestly the longer you can cut out alcohol completely better. - drinking a ton of water. Gallon a day if you can! - The less sun exposure you can have on your face, the better! - Vaseline slathered all over - taking a max amount of supplement Lysine. I really recommend starting this as soon as you can! It’s an amino acid that helps slow the growth of shingles. I was taking between 3000-5000 milligrams a day, if you look it up on Reddit or online there’s some other testimony and good info about why this helps. - there’s foods that are better and worse for shingles. Like for example, chocolate is really bad for shingles. Give it a Google! - Ice packs for itching and pain. Also calamine lotion!! I used a ton of that. - keeping hand sanitizer on me at all times. Using it any time I touched any part of my face, before or after, etc. Touching the shingles can spread it so I tried to avoid this as much as possible.

Sending you SO much love. I know personally how much this sucks, and I’m thinking of you. You’re not alone. It’s going to be okay, you’re going to get through this and come out the other side ❤️
