I'm a 68 yr old active with a healthy lifestyle woman + Had shingles 2006, 2018, 2021 first Moderna covid shot March 20th a few days before second shot April 17th shingles started to appear; after second shot they went "viral" I had many bands and massive pain, now almost 2 months later the pain is still uncomfortable even with preventive measures I took with first two earlier cases + The first two cases were mild I used lots of Carlson's L lysine powder and ate lots of L lysine containing foods. Because L Arginine can promote shingles I avoided foods with high Arginine which seemed to keep the first two shingles mild + When I asked my Naturopath about the covid shots before taking them, his concern was that many people will have other viral infections because the shots make the body more vulnerable to other viruses. I did not think about shingles but wow did it hit me + Also for many years even before the first shingles, I have been plagued by Herpes simplex cold sores. My MD said it makes sense to wait three years before having a shingles shot but I am not sure it will work? Thanks, to our health, Farmersmith
