Hey!
I'm 26 and I got shingles this winter. Mine were on my back and the rash was rather painful. I didn't take anything for it through, the nurse said to put calamine on the cream to stop it itching. To be honest, my experience wasn't too bad.
Wow I didn't know you were 27! I'd always thought of you as alot older somehow. Its strange these ideas we get about other babblers uncompletely unfounded on reality!!!!
Speaking of the herpes virus, I used to get really bad cold sores every now and then but then I started taking St John's Wort - and even through I've stopped the SJW in Febuary, I haven't had one since. I read somewhere that it might be useful in preventing core sores. Dunno if that applies to shingles through!
Kind regards
Meri
