I’m in so much pain right now so glad I found this hopefully I can find some relief

[annasutton]

Thank you doctor. Its good to hear there is somthing else to help people post shingels with on going pain.

[caroliner]

Only carnivore diet and low dose anti depressants (started high but reduced over time) has given me my life back.
My pain is now only an comfortable twinge just before my period or when I need to empty my bowels.
Previously I was out of my head on pain meds, rocking in a foetal position and crying and desperate. I tried keto - saw some improvement, quit sugar and carbs but it was carnivore which took me to twinges and out of pain.
I hope next year I can get off the last low dose med.

A diagram along with this information would be helpful. Just a suggestion.

[whopadeng]

Can you direct us as to where we can find what to expect for the costs, as well as how soon these patients see results for PHN?

[taza]

Anyone had mad headaches after shingles.

[CaliDad]

Im suffering after shingles. Nerve damage. Constantly burning itching. Muscle pain. Cramping. Limited walking I can’t stop I need help now

[retta]

Shingles are not always on the abdomen. I have it on my toe and it's been almost 2 years. Electric shock feeling, makes my leg jerk.

[drrobinson]

Did do you intake new patients just for this procedure? My mom, 76, had shingles on January 1st and today while making it through, still has post pain. If possible to make an appointment, I would love to

[katebird]

Id like to ask if you have any practice for post herpatic neuralgia in my forehead could also be trigeminal pain. Ive had this now fow 5 years but recently in the last year its become impossible. Very strong pain every hour or so also through the night

[donnahigdon]

I had shingles in June, and I’ve had terrible nerve pain in my face ever since. It was in my eye and all down the right side of my face! Can you help me?

[speckdarby]

18 months PHN extreme pain how can i get relief?

[yolysab]

You didn’t show anything. So, it was hard to understand.

[aprilc]

How did you get FDA approval to inject sea minerals into a person? Those are not researched by the FDA or approved by the CDC for treatment. I'm not a fan of these org's by any means but come on.. i've had nerve numbs and burns in my lower back for small spinal canal. I can tell you shingles suck, it's been 2 wks, sores are long gone thanks to meds but the pain lives on. I hope it doesn't last much longer. That burning they talk about? Lol, that's when you first get them, wait for the deep stabbing knives you feel after 7 days. That's the real stuff. 😢😢

[catheriner]

Heck, it’s pleasing to see those nasty shingles melt away, every single passing day, plus the relief is just even better. Hey, I really actually don't know if Kaena Ramingler’s approach is perfect for everyone, yet afterfollowing her guidance, you’ll end up being free inside 3 days!
