Anna about 6 months ago I had shingles. I thought about getting the shot..but it was too expensive for our budget. We checked & it wasn't covered by Medicare. If I had gotten it, it would have cost me $250 out of my own pocket. From what I understand, the shot doesn't eliminate you from getting shingles again. Shingles are in the chicken pox family & we all carry this in our systems, as I'm sure you know by now. ~Jen in AZ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Anna Marie Rahfeldt" <shorty6337@hotmail.com> To: <southern-chat@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, October 28, 2010 12:50 PM Subject: Re: [SOUTHERN-CHAT] Chicken pox remedy > > I had shingles 2 years ago-after they went away my husband and I got the > shot.
