Yes, hence the 28 capsules of 500mg Flucloxacillin sat in front of me. I've got some blistery things on the back of my neck so my girlfriend made me an appointment, good job really or i wouldn't have gone.

how long do you have them? if you have them more than 2 days then those drugs will be of no benefit. if less than 2 days then maybe.

i have them 4 months ago and still have the marks!

Shingles is the same virus as chicken pox, you get chicken pox, your body fights it but the virus remains dormant in the body; shingles is when it flares up again.

it attacks the nervous system

The chances of getting it under the age of 60, are something daft like 1 in 10,000

17489 members, this means possibly 2 people on here will get shingles.

They should count themselves the chosen ones and extremely lucky IMO BTTF

mines not itching or anything just thought it was blisters from sunburn. But the doctor said straight away it was shingles. Not too bad, only on anti-biotics for one day of the holiday.
