Very sorry about this Jon. I guess that means you have not had the shingles vaccine. I have considered getting it even though I am only in my mid-40's. With PN though, I wonder if that puts us at an increased risk for contracting it since so much else is compromised with our bodies?

Mrs D, I would love to know your thoughts on this. I take l-arginine daily and was not aware of its connection to shingles.

I hope you are pain free very soon Jon.
