I now have Shingles for the second time this year. Normally people only get it once, but lucky me. I’ve had it three times. The first time was the worst. My second and third haven’t been nearly as bad. I’ve heard that people with MS are more at risk for repeat visits of Shingles, but I thought that was because MS people are often on Disease Modifying Drugs that suppress your immune system. But I have never taken DMDs because I wasn’t diagnosed until I had progressed to Secondary Progressive MS. Other than MS and being overweight, I am a really healthy person. I haven’t even had a cold in years, so I think my immune system is probably somewhat normal. Does anybody know of a link between MS and Shingles other than the DMDs reducing the immune system?
