A wise person gets their shingles shot. It is highly recommended.
What Is Shingles?
We hear the word. Shingles. Just what is it? How big a problem is it?
It all depends. What we are looking at when we mention shingles is a type of herpes. Anyone who has had chicken pox may develop a case of shingles.. The virus remains in the body and is dormant.
More about that later.
Shingles Shot
Recently I got my singles shot. It is a two step process. By that , I mean you get the shot and a couple months down the line you get the second one, which is a booster. As a result, you should not have to worry about shingles.
Singles is not bugs. But I could think of no better way to illustrate the idea. What you will get when the virus reactivates and gives you a painful sensation. It will work its way out on one side of your body.
Therefore, for the first few days, I am told, never having had it (yet) , the skin is fine then blisters start to form.
Subsequently, these blisters activate the nerves and you feel pain. You can’t really dress that side of your body. You can’t scratch. Then the blisters burst open, spurting the pus.
Consequently, it is this pus that can transmit the shingles. It is not contagious otherwise.
The Cost Of A Shingles Shot
Shingle shots were being offered at my local CVS. Therefore I was able to get my shot at CVS, with a prescription written by my primary care physician. That makes the shot affordable. It retails for as high as a couple hundred. Yet with the medical orders written , I was covered.
Insurance doesn’t cover it, but I do understand that Medicare will help.
That is to say, be ready to pay something for the shot.
The Need
If what has been said already doesn’t impel you to get one, then let me assure you will not escape the virus. i out of 3 people in the US will get the Vericella Roster Virus. The body can flare up at any time. You will feel tingling and then a burning sensation. There could be numbness and stinging pain. Then the rash.
Once the rash settles on the skin you will have to live with it for weeks and weeks. then when the blister burst and the fluid flows and crusts form over the sores…
You get the picture. It is better to go through a two shot program then wait for the virus. You need the shingles shot
My Conclusion
It is in there, in your body. There are a few things that can bring it on. Stress can bring it on. A compromised immune system can bring it on. Age can bring it on. (Over 50) . It is not pleasant. I have posted in another posting in this series . I am sure you would wish to link the two,
There is something I can offer you to help boost the immune system. Remember, the virus can become active if you have a weak immune system. So I can offer you Curcumin .
