I’m 43, just newly diagnosed with a horrible case of shingles last week . They are all over my face , around my eye, ear , all in my scalp. Lymph nodes are a mess. Ear is a mess. My eye is hurting and sensitive. Pain has been a 10/10+ daily. Taking Motrin and Tylenol around the clock. I AM MISERABLE. The pain is unrelenting. I just want to cry. But Developing s... -

I’m 43, just newly diagnosed with a horrible case of shingles last week . They are all over my face , around my eye, ear , all in my scalp. Lymph nodes are a mess. Ear is a mess. My eye is hurting and sensitive. Pain has been a 10/10+ daily. Taking Motrin and Tylenol around the clock. I AM MISERABLE. The pain is unrelenting. I just want to cry. But Developing shingles has me a bit concerned about my immune system which also has me wondering about celiac and if there’s a connection to celiac / gluten and shingles; particularly since I haven't been 💯 gluten free because of all the confusing test results and doctors advice etc., is there a connection here? I’ve never had shingles and the gluten/ celiac roller coaster has been ongoing for a while but I’ve had gluten off and on the last year bc of all the confusion

You're right, doctors usually only test Vitamin D and B12. Both are really important, but they're not good indicators of deficiencies in the other B vitamins. Our bodies are able to store Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D in the liver for up to a year or longer. The other B vitamins can only be stored for much shorter periods of time. Pyridoxine B 6 can be stored for several months, but the others only a month or two at the longest. Thiamine stores can be depleted in as little as three days. There's no correlation between B12 levels and the other B vitamins' levels. Blood tests can't measure the amount of vitamins stored inside cells where they are used. There's disagreement as to what optimal vitamin levels are. The Recommended Daily Allowance is based on the minimum daily amount needed to prevent disease set back in the forties when people ate a totally different diet and gruesome experiments were done on people. Folate requirements had to be updated in the nineties after spina bifida increased and synthetic folic acid was mandated to be added to grain products. Vitamin D requirements have been updated only in the past few years. Doctors aren't required to take as many hours of nutritional education as in the past. They're educated in learning institutions funded by pharmaceutical corporations. Natural substances like vitamins can't be patented, so there's more money to be made prescribing pharmaceuticals than vitamins. Also, look into the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, developed by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, a Celiac herself. Her book The Paleo Approach has been most helpful to me. You're very welcome. I'm glad I can help you around some stumbling blocks while on this journey. Keep me posted on your progress! Best wishes!
