Scratch that

most doctors are just guessing.

As someone who’s had shingles. My deepest sympathies.

The cream gave you the shingles. Sue!!!

Pharmacists and nurses? Didn’t you see a doctor??

I’ve had shingles. Sorry. It sucks big time.

Pharmacists and Nurses are not doctors.

I come from a family of nurses, and while we know a lot, we don’t know everything. Should have gone to the Doctor sooner.

Make sure you tell everyone you are contagious.

Good luck.

Shingles sucks. I had it 26 years ago. See if you can get a prescription for an antiviral drug like Zovirax or something newer. My shingles were gone in a week or two, unlike my dad who had them several years before for six weeks. Of course, he was a lot older than I was when he had it, so he may have also had a weaker immune system.
