Shingles is a very strange affliction. From what I've learned over the years is that the majority of people will have shingles only once. There are very few that will get it over and over again. I've also learned that stress can have a part in it. As for my previous post asking if anyone has run into doubt from doctors, I didn't mean in diagnosing shingles I meant in the fact that shingles keeps recurring over and over again. I've found it very frustrating convincing them that I need to keep a supply of meds on hand at all times just in case. I know that I must start meds immediately at the first sign of another outbreak. As long as I can do this, I find I can live with it. Of course, I do wish it would stop.
