Consultant still maintains it was shingles. GP says it's connected with high BG (which is half what it was at diagnosis) Have since read that anxiety/high cortisol can also trigger this kind of response (!!)Have started him on a course of Alpha Lipoeic R supplements to see if that makes any difference . GP just offered him antidepressants ( to take his mind off the feeling) which he declined.As it's been 5 months now he is feeling a bit fed up.Thoughts appreciated. x</blockquote>
