I was unlucky enough to have been dealt with a case of shingles late November, and had severe pain and was on high morphine for about 5 weeks, the pain got a little better, but as the shingles are located under my butt and inwards to the centre, sitting or lying has been very painful. Have been on milder morphine as pain has only subsided a bit, and last week 2 1/2 months later the pain was bad one night it was getting the better of my normally pleasant disposition. The next day a friend went to have a massage and brought back a jar of your creme. I took it home and rubbed it in with trepidation - only to find that after about 5 minutes I could feel it "getting" right into the skin and nerves - not unpleasant as with Deep heat type of creme, and after about 15 minutes the intense pain and gone to being just really sore - unbelievable. I have been using it every day since and stopped taking any medication since last Saturday. I am still quite sore a lot of the time - am back at work and have to sit for a lot of the time, but the creme certainly lets me get better night's sleep and is easier through the day. I have recommended it to several people already and have already bought a second jar. Thank you for such a natural product and one that REALLY works.
