Is shingles contagious?
Shingles is contagious and can be spread from an affected person to babies, children, or adults who have not had chickenpox. But instead of developing shingles, these people develop chickenpox. Once they have had chickenpox, people cannot catch shingles (or contract the virus) from someone else.
Is it saying that if you had chicken pox, you cannot get shingles? I am not focusing this morning. Cannot seem to understand..
I had chickpox when I was a child (at least my mother said I did), and I had shingles when I lived in London as an adult.

Anyone who has had chicken pox can develop shingles...

Re: Post Shingles complications
About 10 days ago I developed an itch which very quickly turned into sore, tender, painful skinIt's in the small of my back, from just above my waist to the top of my buttocks, and on the front from just above my waist to my abdomen
There is no redness, rash, or blistering
It really is quite painful. Even wearing soft clothing lke a T shirt and jogging pants, as I move and the clothing drags over me it feels like I've been scraped with a wire brush or something
There doesn't seem to be any internal pain
I also feel generally achy & tired
I had chickenpox when I was a boy. I've Searched for shingles and asked a friend who's had it, but they don't quite seem to match
I have a doctor's appointment on Monday, but in the meantime I wonder if anyone had any comments
