Shingles

When I was undergoing Chemo in in 1981 I got shingles. They had nothing for it at the time, so I took a painkiller. Skip ahead to 2022 and I got it again, but this time they had an anti—viral that did the trick. For years they only had a live vaccine that I couldn’t take, but now they have one that I can take, which i have. I hope to never get shingles again, but there is no guarantee.

  1. Thanks for sharing, ! I am sorry you had to experience shingles TWICE! That stinks! I hope the vaccine did the trick and you never experience another outbreak.
