twtybrd: Shingles (AGEN) WOW! That is information we can use. Thank you very much for sharing it with us.
Use a vaccine to prevent shingles. Get treatment fast if you have an outbreak (acyclovir, etc.) Take Tagament or get a prescription for cimetidine if you have an outbreak to reduce the pain. (Of course, we'd have to find out whether cimetidine and acyclovir can be taken together.)
