shingles

Funny thing that just as I decided to do a raw cleanse I had my first attack of shingles. I don't think that they are related but, the timing seems right. has anyone had history with these and what happened after going raw?

I had my first and hopefully only attack last year. Let me say first they realy need to find a better name, shingles really doesn't convey the pain well enough and in fact sounds quite benign.

Anyway, someone tried to tell me it was because I had been eating so many strawberries so I checked with a doctor and although I guess no one knows for sure what is the cause, he was comfortable telling me that I did not have to give up any fruit or vegatables that I had been eating.

After doing some research,and reading about people that have symptoms for years presumably from waitng or miss-diagnosis I did however decide that it was not something that I wanted to mess with and got the medication to take care of it quickly.

JMO YMMV.

I have sore slightly swollen sensitive itchy skin that started around my mouth and has spread down under my chin and actualy my whole face, not so much the forehead. My guess, (and it's just a guess), is that it could be from the botox I had injected into my lips about 4 years ago.
This happened shortly after I started upping the raw fruit in my diet about a week ago. Still have some "cooked" food occasionally but I'm going as much as possible with the raw.
At first I thought it was from unripe pineapple but not anymore.
I'm pretty sure it's my body detoxing. I just read that raw diet is like a slow fast. Kind of exciting actually.
