Pain after shingles can last for years - studies show micro-immunotherapy can offer relief

The most common complication of Shingles is pain, also known as Post Herpatic Neuralgia (PHN) and is due to damage to the skin and nerves after the acute stage of this disease.

Shingles is the result of the reactivation of the Chicken Pox virus in the body, affecting nerves, the reasons aren’t fully understood.

The pain of Shingles or PHN can vary in severity from mild to severe. It can be described from sharp stabbing to burning, constant and sometimes unbearable. The area involved can be sensitive and tender to touch. It can affect work, social and home life, sometimes leading to depression.

The affected area can suffer from tingling numbness and itching. In some cases shingles can occur without a rash, called internal shingles and in rare cases it can spread to internal organs causing serious complications. You should always consult your GP if you suspect you may have Shingles.

Studies have shown that Micro-immunotherapy can help lessen the pain and offer relief for PHN.

Micro-immunotherapy innovative medicines contain high dilutions of interleukins, growth factors and specific nucleic acids (SNA) for the support of the immune system by restoring balance leading to a positive effect on the person’s overall health and defences. It can be successfully used in this or any other inflammatory and autoimmune diseases which are the consequence of imbalance in our immune system. The main object is to restore and correct the functioning of our immune system.

Micro-immunotherapy seeks to regulate the immune response and optimally modulate the inflammation and contributes to correcting the function of the immune system. It can be safely used alongside conventional medicine as an excellent supportive therapy.
