I never had any treatment for the shingles I had. I actually never had it confirmed, but I described what it looked and felt like, and had a couple of doctors tell me that it was a classic case of shingles.

I developed mononucleosis during or after the shingles started, so I had those at both time. Ever since I found out about the MS, I've kind of suspected that both viruses had something to do with waking up the MS.
