Shingles are back in my eye!

Posted by Poet on January 10, 2009, at 17:53:20

For the last two weeks vision in my right eye (the one that was effected by shingles aka herpes zoster ophthalmicus has been foggy. Like a film is over my eye that I can't wash or wipe away. The eye doctor has me back on steriod eye drops and I see him again next week. It doesn't hurt, but not seeing clearly is annoying- I have real trouble reading anything as my right eye is my better up close eye. Even with drugstore reading glasses I end up squinting with my left eye.
Why can't I get shingles like a normal person? Why in my eye? And why do I get a flareup less than eight months after I first got them. I think my body is fallng apart starting with my head, God knows my mental health issues were the first sign.
