I have had shingles, and I have read that people with MS tend to get them more than the general population. I think it might be the DMDs that so many of us take, but I don’t get the DMDs because I am in SPMS, so I don’t know where that puts me. My only suggestion is to get the vaccine if it is at all possible. Shingles are really, really painful and they last a very long time. Knowing what I know now, I wouldn’t risk getting shingles on a dare.
