I've had shingles twice. I was very lucky both times because I recognized the symptoms. I was treated and given medication within 24 hours. I was told that early detection is key in limiting the severity of the virus.
Bogie, in answer to your question ...... my family doctor has now recommended the shingles shot. She says it will either prevent a third episode, or lessen the severity.
