Shingles Again?

Girl, I suffered through shingles when I was about 14. Most painful experience ever! Felt like a zipper was stuck in the skin on my back and someone was constantly zipping my skin up and down. Prescription Medication relieved me in hours. My parents didn’t even remember that I had the chicken pox when I was younger. My fear is that it will return (because It can). Sorry you’re going through this pain, hopefully the meds kick in soon and you’re back to normal.

You may consider the shingles vaccine.

You're so young! I wish you well. I once took care of an elderly lady who had shingles. She was just miserable.

My husband and I have both been inoculated against shingles. I don't know if that is an option for you but you might like to find out more about it.

I thought usually elderly people get shingles. It is said if you haven't had chicken pox then you are more likely to get shingles. I hope you feel better. Have you been around anyone who has had shingles? I heard that it is contagious. Maybe doing a detox might be helpful. I've never heard of someone getting it 3 times before. I hope you feel better soon.

If it makes u feel better i have been single until 31. Relax and wait for the right time.

Wow you are young to have had it 3 times! Have they figured out what is wrong that is causing it? My late husband got it when he was around 22. Usually only people with comprised immune systems get it like the elderly. They have a shot you can get after 60. Maybe you can get it early since you keep getting it!

So sorry that you are having the shingles for the 3rd time. I had it before and it went into my eye. Extremely painful. Hope that your meds help you.

You are young for the vaccine, i think you need to be 60 for it, but at CVC the pharmacist will give it but it will cost $250 at least her. If you are under 60 the ins. won't cover it. My mom had it and it was very painful.. try and see a doctor if you haven't already.

Must go to doctor immediately
