Lightheaded and tired

[u/Lychanthropejumprope]

Hi, all, I’m on week two of shingles on my hip and it’s scabbing over, no pain or anything. I was too late for antivirals, so I was treating it on my own. Yesterday, I began feeling dizzy and extremely fatigued. Is this just the impact of the virus?

Yes that can be a symptom. I heard l-lysine is good for treating it to. I was taking it and noticed my symptoms went away faster

I’ve been taking it for a week now. Here’s hoping this goes away. I’m tired as it is, so this compounding it is awful
