So Sorry!<br /> My 90 year old step-grandmother recently was down here staying in my Uncles empty house and she got shingles in the eye! I was the only family member within a 500 mile radius so spent some time with her in the hospital.<br /> It was not pretty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-think-i-have-shingles-again#post-354209 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 14:10:51 +0000 rachiecakes 354209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had it when I was 27, overworked and stressed to the max. I thought I was having an allergic reaction and went to the ER. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-think-i-have-shingles-again#post-354191 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 14:07:58 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 354191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>^ Same, I was like 6. I was out of school for like 3 weeks.

I had it as a kid, the worst thing ever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-think-i-have-shingles-again#post-354109 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 13:43:59 +0000 Revel 354109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh no! I had shingles last year in December and it was pretty awful. I didn't have a lot of pain but I did have lingering feelings in the nerves for months.</p> <p>Have you been to the doctor? Mine prescribed anti-viral meds which are supposed to lessen the severity/duration of the symptoms, but you have to start taking them in the first few days of when you notice the rash. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-think-i-have-shingles-again#post-354064 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 13:22:38 +0000 tororojo 354064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh no, that SUCKS! My grandfather had it recently and was out of commission for awhile, although part of that is probably because he's old. I thought there was a vaccine or something? Or that you couldn't get it again...sorry you have to deal with it twice! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-think-i-have-shingles-again#post-354052 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 13:18:19 +0000 autumnlove 354052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I had shingles my sophomore year of high school..my right side hurt so bad!</p> <p>Feel better!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-think-i-have-shingles-again#post-354051 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 13:18:16 +0000 mrs. wagon 354051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>thanks everyone!! </p> <p>@Mrs. Bee: My first bout with shingles left no scars, but I think I'm going to have some this time :( it doesn't help that the rash is on my boobs, where I massage during pumping, ughhh!!! worst possible placement ever. Except maybe the eye. Don't google "shingles in the eye" unless you want to vomit immediately.</p> <p>@mediagirl: I didn't think you could either! :( :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-think-i-have-shingles-again#post-354049 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 13:16:21 +0000 Maysprout 354049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had them when I was 16 or 17 on my back. Not fun but for me they weren't too too bad. I only got a low grade fever and not a ton of pain thought they did hurt. I thought shingles usually stayed to one half of your body.</p> <p>Hope you get better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-think-i-have-shingles-again#post-354009 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 12:50:38 +0000 pinkcupcake 354009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh no! I've never had shingles, but that sounds awful :( I hope you feel better soon!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-think-i-have-shingles-again#post-354007 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 12:50:09 +0000 mediagirl 354007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh no! I didn't know you could get shingles more than once, kind of like chicken pox. :( I hope you feel better soon!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-think-i-have-shingles-again#post-354006 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 12:47:41 +0000 Mrs. Bee 354006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yikes!!!! i've never had it but my mom had it recently and it left some scars like chicken pox!</p> <p>first mastitis and now this..... the things babies do to our bodies. hope you get better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-think-i-have-shingles-again#post-353998 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 12:45:37 +0000 mrs. wagon 353998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got shingles while I was nursing Wagon Jr. when he was about 5 months old, and it was so incredibly painful. The nerve pain dulled but didn't really go away for months. </p> <p>This time around I got a rash on the OTHER side of my body, with very little pain, so I didn't think it was shingles. But now I have the rash on the first side of my body (but in a different spot) and there's a good amount of pain, and yesterday it started shooting up my back (telltale nerve pain of shingles) so I'm pretty sure it's shingles again. At least this time the pain isn't so blindingly incapacitating like the last time! And all of the times my rash has been just that, no crusting over and breaking open, thank GOD. But this time around the rash is pretty itchy. </p> <p>Has anyone else had shingles?? </p>
