Update after uMRD/completed antiobiotic
I am not feeling very good at all. I was hoping that after I completed the round of antibiotics on Monday, that I would be seeing some improvement. Every day this week seems to be getting worse. My ankles are swollen, and my knees are also swollen. I have joint pain in the ankles, knees, wrist and

Post Shingles Pain
I had mild shingles (not bad blisters) as I'd had the injection but much pain in my teeth. But following the acyclovir course and things subsided the pain in my teeth came back. It started on the same side (right face) but then moved around to the left jaw top and bottom as it pleased. Felt like a tooth

Post Shingle Aciclovir
I had the vaccine 2017 (the older one which is less effective). I got Shingles six weeks ago and four days in started Aciclovir. It was in my right side face. I did not have it really serious (almost indetectible blisters but one on eyelid. The real pain was in my jaw like I had multiple abscesses. This

Any correlation between Pca and Herpes virus?
I recently read some papers that have found some correlation between Alzheimer's and the Herpes virus. I also have a friend who was diagnosed with stage 3 Multiple Myeloma (bone marrow cancer) that spent 3 years researching his issue and concluded that the Herpes Simplex virus is likely the culprit,

Aciclovir side effects
I am getting cloudy urine as I treat my shingles. Has anyone experienced this? I have done a urine test strip and all appears normal. Advice welcome. Thanks.

Shingles! Cause of my hip and leg pain?
Having had severe left hip and leg pain for nearly two weeks, I came out with a rash on the same leg and foot. As I also had a slightly elevated temperature, I was advised by my hematology team to go to A&E. I was there for several hours, treated by everyone with care and compassion and culminating in

Shingles and endo
Hi all. I have got shingles and endo pain at the same time! 😖 And I'm likely going to have to continue in work as I have appointments to keep and am responsible for patient care. I will call my line manager tomorrow to see if she wants me in or not. I'm on acyclovir for shingles and my usual cocktail

Unfortunate News precipitated by rare side effect of Docetaxl
During this time, he was also administered with tocilizumab (a drug given to patients experiencing respiratory failure following covid) and septran (a strong antibiotic) and
ganciclovir
(anti-viral drug), none of which helped him.

Shingles and azathioprine
Hi all, today I have been diagnosed with shingles. The doctor started me on Aciclovir. I’m not sure if I can keep taking my azathioprine or not. Forgot to ask the doctor. Anyone has been in the same situation as me? Thanks.x

herpes attacks
I am sorry to bring this topic into the discussion as many feel unwilling to talk about it. As very much part of the liberated 1960's generation, those who came of age in the 1960s and had a lot of liberated fun at the time, I found I had contracted genital herpes. Once you have it it cannot be cured

Diagnosed with Shingles MDS/MPN Overlap Syndrome
Just been diagnosed with Shingles confined to my scalp at the moment. I've been prescribed Aciclovir 800mg 5 times a day. I have very low neutrophils.....should I have antibiotics too?

To continue or not....that is the question
I started treatment in July 2021 after 18 months on W&W. Initially I was treated with Obinutuzumab but I had a severe reaction to the first 20mg and ended up in the A&E resuscitation ward. I was then swopped to Rituximab and Venetoclax, which was explained as normally being a second line treatment which

Not that serious in the scheme of things!
I wonder if the inflamed looking rash at the corners of my mouth and at the side of my nose are PMR or pred related by any chance? I have had it for about the same period as my PMR diagnosis which is 2 years. Various GPS have not made such connections. Rosacea was ruled out. They prescribed Daktatort

Shingles
Hi everyone, I had terrible pain in my left hip and down the thigh to just above knee last week and was worried in case it was to do with my hip replacement. However on Sunday I noticed a crop of lumpy red spots on my hip which were itchy. Called the surgery Monday morning and got a call back from GP

Is it possible that the rash around the corners of my mouth and nose is connected to PMR? I’ve had it for about 2 years - approximately the same period as PMR, but the various GPs I’ve complained to have not made the association. Rosacea was ruled out. But they have prescribed Daktacort ( for possible
