Shingles

[Guest guest]

I asked the question about whether or not we were immune after the first

bout with shingles. Tracey posted a link. I am going to copy the part in the

article that addresses this and I am posting it here everyone to read.

Most people who get shingles develop immunity to the varicella zoster virus and

will not get it again. Only about 4% of people will have another outbreak in the

future. When shingles does recur, it is often in people with a compromised

immune system (eg, they are infected with HIV or are undergoing chemotherapy

treatments). A second outbreak of shingles may occur many years after the first

outbreak. When shingles does recur, the rash usually does not appear in the same

location as the first outbreak.

Thanks Tracey,

Lottie

The shingles is inthe dry, crusty stage, and the best that I have tried so far is pure lanolin. I will try some of your suggestions. I'm so tired of itching and hurting.Again, thanks.Judith Alta KSuzanne wrote: Anti viral drugs are usually used on shingles... try taking garlic cloves and capsicum (cayenne) to help speed the ridence of the shingles also.
