Im on exemestane.
Irregardless, I wont take the vac and Ive had shingles.
I caught it just as it was starting. Discovered 2-5 redish bumps on my back thigh.
Thought it was the start of a rash and applied Aim whitening toothpaste on them every 2-3 hours, Not knowing what these were.
4 days later, the were still there, started to slightly burn. Went to the dr and she identified them as shingles. She asked what i had put on them. I told her Aim whitening toothpaste. She asked me Why? I said I was taking care of my dad at his home on Hospice and couldnt leave so this is what I had available.
She asked me to use Calamine lotion and to come back in 3 days.
I continued with the toothpaste, saw her 3 days later and the bumps were gone. She asked me if I used the Calamine lotion. I said no.
She was amazed, but hey, it worked for me!
Catching them early was key. Stay in tune with your body.

Wow! I am really impressed with your ingenuity, @ebtexas55 :)) Could other brands of toothpaste work as well?

Thanks for sharing!
