I have had shingles since I was in my 30's you mean to tell me there is a link with that and MS??? I thought I got bitten by a bug or something because I had just been out in the park so the next time I broke out my dr saw it and told me what it was after testing it.

I have not had a break out in maybe a year some times it will go by for years and not get one. I just use the cream and it heals fast. but I only had it inside one time where there was no breakout and just the pain and that herpes meds is very nasty and made me sick I couldn't wait to stop taking never mind the embarrassment you feel going to pick it up.

you should be fine it clears up in days with meds. I use zovirax and it works just fine for breakouts of course if you have pain and no breakout you have to take pills but I am not taking those pills unless there is no breakout. it stays in this one spot under my thigh and my dr told me that it travels up the nerve in the right side of your body.
