Shingles

@bunnybear What an unpleasant disease to get! I’m so sorry. According to Mayo Clinic, you are contagious until your blisters scab over.
“Chickenpox can be dangerous for some people. Until your shingles blisters scab over, you are contagious. Avoid physical contact with anyone who hasn't yet had chickenpox or the chickenpox vaccine. That includes people with weakened immune systems, pregnant women and newborns.”
I would suggest a serious talk with your doctor.do you think your plans can be changed to another time, if necessary?

I had the full series of both versions of the shingles vaccine. I got shingles anyway. In desperation, I applied some old CBD oil I had to my outbreak on my abdomen. It worked almost immediately to stop the electric-like pain!! I still have a funny kind of numb feeling under my skin after 12 hours but no episodes of shingles pain. I am so thankful! I got this in California but think it might be available everywhere because it has less than 0.3% THC. I will add a picture of the ingredients. I now think everyone ought to keep a bottle of this in their medicine cabinet b/c it is has other medical uses I have seen on here and then if you ever get this awful skin condition you will have it on hand. If you’re concerned, it had no hallucinogenic activity when applied to the skin.

I got the J&J shot and then the Mederma. I got sick after each one. I have had shingles two times since the Covid Vaccine. After second case of shingles, I waited 6 months to get the vaccine. After the Shingles vaccine, I had neck pain and the both shoulder hurt with pain and weakness going down my arm. I cried every night from the pain waking me up this summer and then I got the shingles blister again. I had Polymyalgia Rheumatica about 8 years ago. I am beginning to think that anyone with an autoimmune history should not have gotten the Covid Vaccines. Has anyone else had this problem?

I heard lotta people getting the shingles shot after shingles you’re not supposed to really I don’t know why they’re giving it to people. I got shingles four years ago still in pain no shingles shot for me. It just put more of the virus in you.
So sorry for you take care❤️
