I'd pursue this further. Less than 5% of people who get a shingles ob ever get a recurrence. If you've been diagnosed as having shingles more than once then this needs followed up on ( not sure if you've been diagnosed with having it more than once or if it's just the wording you used ).

heh thanks...
uhm the Dr just said it looked like shingles and did a 'change in sensation' test.
actually i went there and they said i came too late, next time come earlier
but then it seemed to spread (or crop up elsewhere on the back) a bout a week later and they gave me the aciclovir
first time i had it - so i didnt realise that shingles gave fever etc (thought it was just the itch/soreness)
This is probably the shingles making you feel like ****. It will get better.
How did they diagnose you with shingles?
Hope you are better soon :)

I got it wrong --- it should be 7 day course of x 5 a day--- dunno what i was thinking!
