Shingles?!?! Who has had it?

[Tobias39]

I was just diagnosed today. I'm assuming it is because of my immune system dropped because of my cycle. Any thoughts?

Anyone else experience this?

I have ceramic tiles. Just kidding bro. I'm assuming you didn't tell your doc you were an aas. I have heard about people getting shingles while on cycle. Hope it clears up soon bro.

A girl I work with has had shingles for the past two weeks (caused by stress)

They suck! When I had them it was when I was off so not related, but they sucked. Doc. gave me a strong anti viral med that shut um down where they were. They cleared up fairly quickly after going on that med.

I read that if you have a weak immune system the shingles could spread to internal organs and the lungs. I go off my cycle in 2 weeks... I wonder if I should start PCT now.

Yeah I had them, but not steroid related. The doc gave me a bunch of that Valtrax and it cleared up really quick. It was funny as he only had a bunch of samples, like one per box, so I walked out of the doc office with an arm full of Valtrax boxes and all the chicks looking at me like I had herpies

Thats because its part of the herpes family. Its a virus like the other forms of herpes.

Herpes = chicken pox = shingles

They are all in the same family.

Shingles is the chicken pox virus that lays dormant in your body if you have CP as a child. It is always in you, it just is suppressed. When your immune system is compromised, it can flare up.

Funny you posted this - I was diagnosed yestrday too. My immune system is down because of being pregnant. It SUCKS. They hurt like hell.
