Well you take care of those shingles....I think I told you I had them and they were very painful. Mine were open sores and didn't itch. They hurt. The doctor gave me some sort of nerve pills as shingles attack nerve endings. I had to take so many and then wean myself off. This went on for 2 months. Shingles will only attack one side of the body and anywhere. Mine started as a little pimple between my breasts..went under- down the side and around to the back. I couldn't wear anything that touched the shingles. My son had them on his lips and in his mouth and throat. He was in the hospital over two weeks. He couldn't eat so they had to feed him intravenous. He was a mess. Now there is a vaccine that will prevent them..Don't know if you can get them more than once? Maybe that will be on my list to ask Doc next time I see him Milly WARD Piros My Mind is like Lightning.....One Brilliant flash and pooooooooofffffffff It's gone

Yes you can them more than once - I've had them 3 times. There is now a drug called Valtrex that is used to prevent / treat them MPiros1120@aol.com wrote: >Well you take care of those shingles....I think I told you I had them and >they were very painful.
