Hiya, thanks for all your advice on treatments for my mum. Since I last wrote she has came out in Shingles and has been in alot of pain, the rash however has cleared - I wonder if that had anything to do with it. She is on painkillers and a course of antibiotics which need to be taken within 72 hours of the shingles coming out, I am hoping once this all clears up then she may be back to her usual happy self:))

Thank you all so much for the advice for my mum, I have printed these off for her - she has another appointment at the doctors on Thursday so will ask about some of these, others such as aloe vera etc she will try as well. I will keep you updated on how she is, hopefully some of your advice will help her, my dad is getting sick of sleeping in the spare room LOL :)

Thanks for that, I have taken a note of that and will give it to her, she has also tried changing everything, even bought a new bed and mattress and a new sofa incase it was dust or something, but to no avail, it is just really wearing her down now and it has cost her a fortune at herbal doctors too. Heres hoping she can get this med and it helps:) Thanks once again.

Hi I am hoping someone may have a suggestion which may help my mothers healt. About a year ago she came out in a rash, which the doctors said was excema, it is quite an itchy rash and none of the medication she has been given has helped. She is still itching and losing alot of sleep everynight, they have ruled out all other causes and insist it is excema. Does anyone have any suggestions to what she can take to get rid of the itch, the rash wouldn't bother her so much if she wasn;t scratching? Thanks
