So right Marty. Never had them but did have chicken pox. If you already had the chicken pox then the virus is already in you. Just be sure if you see a small rash just starting then contact your doctor. If you do start to get the shingles then there is a cream called silver sulfur dyne. Ask your doctor for a prescription which should be good for a year just in case. This cream can also be used for treating burns, even sunburn.
About three years ago I was trying to light the pilot light of my gas hot water in Pennsylvania. It blew out a flame that burned part of my face. Hurt badly so I took some Percocet and applied the cream and it felt much better. No permanent burns to my face. 18's, Marty On Fri, Jun 12, 2015 at 11:41 AM, 'Icandoallttc' via CMLHope < cmlhope@googlegroups.com> wrote: > So right Marty. > Never had them but did have chicken pox. > > Prayers & Blessings Jeanie [image: 🐟][image: 🐟]18,s > Dx 1/2004 > Started Gleevec 2/2004 > Started Tasigna 9/2009 > Started Sprycel 11/2009 > Started Ponatinib January 2015 > > On Jun 12, 2015, at 11:31 AM, Marty Gartenberg <wa2...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Angie who knows what to say about this?
