Lynne,
Talk about a bummer! Do they feel you can expect more onsets of shingles?
Does the medicine for it help you?

I have had Shingles twice since TM onset. Mine were only slightly
painful and very itchy. My physicians will not give me the shingles vaccine,
or any other vaccine for that matter.
They fear it may make my immune system over react again.

uncommon........luckily

totally numb!!

Has anybody out there had shingles? If so, how did it affect you?
The doctor was puzzled, saying my rash looked like shingles, but the
pain description didn't sound typical. I have jolts of pain rather thanm deep,
constant pain. The rash is on my waist. I wonder if T.M. makes things
different. My face is quite flushed.
After consulting another doctor who confirmed shingles, the first one
prescribed medication.
