8. Totally feel your pain...

Shingles left me with post-herpetic pain and tinnitus...

The medications prescribed turned me into a balloon... and weaning from the drugs was incredibly difficult.
Once weaned, the tinnitus remained and periodic flares could blindside me.

My MD offered to work with me using diet therapy... using intermittent fasting and low, low carb... Down 43
lbs in the last three months... Tinnitus has blessedly receded, and there has been only one flare (the result
of a dietary discretion)...

As one "old lady" to another... may your recovery be a cause to rejoice!!!
