Hi corrie14 Most people only get shingles once but it can reoccur and seems to recur slightly more in people with low amuine systems and women, You can have a vaccination to prevent it so if you think it has returned I would deffo get it checked with GP

Peace, luv n light

I have heard shingles is extremely painful so if you are in any doubt I would check with your doctor. As Janet28 says when our immune system is low, (as it is with fibro), it is more likely to reoccur.

Hi corrie14

I am so genuinely sorry to read this and I agree with your other respondents and talk to your doctor about this as it is more than likely something to do with your immune system. I want to sincerely wish you all the best of luck, and please take care of yourself.

All my hopes and dreams for you

Ken
