[Catherine] L-lysine works like a champ in the early stages. It stops the replication of the virus, so while I know there are many anti-virals out there, this has been tried & true in our family. ( Note: also works on cold sores)

My nutritionist recommended it years ago, especially for travel.
2/2x/day, for a few days, if exposed
3/2x/day, if feeling the beginning stages of illness.

Just FYI,
L-arginine, which is in the neuropathy supplements…will increase replication. So, if anything feels like it’s coming on, and any of you have this in other supplements, take a break from it (while you have shingles).
