My friend was just diagnosed with Shingles. You cannot put into words how upset and scared I am. She's only in 6th grade, an 11 year old. I cannot believe this. I can't. I just hope there's a cure somewhere out there, and she can get better. |

I am 66 and just found out I have shingles. My physician said I am not contagious to anyone except pregnant women and infants. My husband's physician did not agree and said I was contagious to everyone. Expecially my grandson who is 9 and has never had pox but has been immunized 2 times. Hard to find the "real" answer. This is a dreadful disease and wonder if my father's remedy for life (he drank it every day) warm water, apple cider vinegar and honey. Maybe I will try that when my medication is gone. Just wanted to share this with you. |

One more thing - I read somewhwere when I was having Shingles, that having had shingles raises my risk of having Cancer. And true enough, two years later, after experienceing some pains for some time in my abdomen, I was diagnosed with stage two colon cancer. I'm only 32.
It might be of some interest to some. just thought I'd add it in. |
