Shingles Saga

Hi. I returned to work yesterday after a week off with shingles..my fourth bout. I really struggled at work though..my heart was racing and I felt pretty ill. I am assuming the shingles is not out of my system and physical work was too much for my body to handle?? The shingles had scanned over and I felt okay at home although I did have a tooth infection which made my heart race! I had THYROIDECTOMY 10 years ago..I guess my immune system is very low. Thank you

I've got shingles as well and keep feeling really exhausted. Also my heart has been racing at times-probably due to being so tired. I think shingles might take a while to leave the system-at least that's what i've been told by other sufferers.Hypothyroidism certainly doesn't help matters! You are not alone!!! x
