Well from what I have been reading a person can't catch shingles off someone with shingles BUT can get chickenpox if they haven't had it before.
Also read that only chicken poxs effects the unborn baby where with shingles the person already has antibodies against chicken pox so when shingles occurs & the person is preg the unborn baby is protected by the mothers antibodies.
eta - my symptoms really don't fit. I just wish I knew what it was so I could treat it. Its so itchy & sore!
