Suggest Treatment For Shingles

I have a rash which I have had for 2 years now first they said it was shingles, then I was hospitalized and they did some biospy and said I have klebsiella and I had a pic line and Invance tx for 2 weeks. This rash is relentless and itches to high heavens. I am taking Atarax which does nothing for it and I have such pain I want to die I am serious. What can I do because the quacks here want to put me under uv light for 50 bucks a pop and that seems like robbery to me? Help....

Hello,
Thank you for your contact to health care magic. I understand your concern. If I am your doctor I suggest you that you should do culture and sensitivity report from the lesion in renowned laboratory in your area. Take the report and than go to doctor, take treatment accordingly. If it is Klebsiella pneumonia it will be treated without need of UV light.
I will be happy to answer your further concern
