shingles

I had shingles a few years ago so maybe my sisters will come down with them some day . I found this on the net and thought it might be worth a try if any of you get the shingles. It was the most terrible thing I have ever went through and so sisters read this and remember... husband had shingles and doctor told him to get some starter fluid for cars and spray it on there. Said the ether would stop it and it should go away quickly, told him he could write him the prescription for antiviral thats like $200( found out today his insurance doesnt go into effect until Jan 2011... grrr....) but the prescription would take a couple weeks and wouldnt make a difference really, that the ether would react faster.
