I am just so happy there is a vaccine; check with your doc about it if you are worried(not you L)---MS makes everyting a real possible danger, I'm just into vaccines right now. But are ANY of them 100%? When we mess with our natural state, we know not what the future will bring. I still hang with aspirin.Diane J Standifordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11862850657925658079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38895750.post-21396956605893306612007-10-31T10:32:00.000-07:002007-10-31T10:32:00.000-07:00Well ... there goes lunch!;PWell ... there goes lunch!<BR/><BR/>;Pmdmhvonpahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05319386081400881905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38895750.post-22723923337603183702007-10-31T08:36:00.000-07:002007-10-31T08:36:00.000-07:00at least you don't have to look for a costume . ....at least you don't have to look for a costume . . . sorry that was bad!Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03375512448024903580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38895750.post-66774563006504050042007-10-31T07:50:00.000-07:002007-10-31T07:50:00.000-07:00Now I know more than I ever wanted to know about S...Now I know more than I ever wanted to know about SHINGLES. So, you are a public health risk until all the crappy little pustules crust over? CLP's for short. <BR/>Hope you can find some comfort from the CLP's and rest up. I know it can't be easy.

It CAN be administered "off label" (meaning my insurance won't cover it) by a physician if you can find one who's willing to do so at a cost of around $300. Because I already have a compromised immune system due to Novantrone, I am NOT currently a candidate for this vaccine. It is also not known how long "immunity" stays in effect and the efficacy is only about 50% even in adults over age 60. It has not been studied to date in someone my age (43) and long term side effects remain unknown.<BR/><BR/>LDBRAINCHEESEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04478852688645497036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38895750.post-40715841609741973772007-10-30T22:25:00.000-07:002007-10-30T22:25:00.000-07:00May I just add that there is a vaccine for shingle...May I just add that there is a vaccine for shingles, talk to your Dr. if you are concerned.
