Have you been in contact with someone with chicken pox. I believe they are caused by the same virus.

To get shingles you have to have had chicken pox once. It's just one of those incredibly uncomfortable things that happen. Contact your dr. and get an antiviral medication like valtrex if they'll allow it.

Have you been stressed since your surgery this also causes shingles. I had a bout with them about a two months ago and was told stress is a factor its unfortunate to have them but the meds do help. You are contagious to children with the virus but can't pass shingles themselves.

Shingles can be passed on because it is viral, though it might result in pox for some and shingles for others. We've had an outbreak of it at our school with 8 cases this year. Shingles is a herpes zoster virus, and it is very painful. I've not had them, but my assistant did get them this year. I was very concerned bc I've never had the pox, though do have the titer. I am fortunate not to have gotten them. They just have to run their course unfortunately.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
