Reoccurring Shingles!

Good to have you posting again. I just read a article about shingles recurring after having them once . My wife had a mild case a couple years ago, they gave her some stuff called acyclovir 800mg, 5x a day. She caught them early.
They really...really suck Lara, sorry your having to deal with them.

Just thought to add loose clothing or none at all.

Lαrα, So sorry for all the pain you are experiencing. I had three friends who were affected by Shingles and each one took different drugs. One person even left her home because she was told that a colder climate would give her more comfort; she lived in Phoenix but did a temporary relocation to Denver.

Thankyou everyone for your kind thoughts... jaylock , I do have a 'northern' accent but not strong really and vintage may have done kilg0retr0ut , I am enjoying posting again, very much so.

tetra , my mom mentioned the vaccination to me today but I am sure that my doctor said it was not likely to help me as I already have the virus in my system. califanna , there are drugs that I could have taken but it has to be within 48 hours of developing Shingles and unfortunately I was not aware that I had them at that early point.

Alternative therapy sites name ascaris and/or trichinella as the culprits for shingles and freeze dried green black walnut as the remedy.

vintage,thankyou for the tip and kilg0retr0ut,for the advisory. tetra, I will certainly look into the vaccine now, thankyou.
