Shingles

I have shingles :(

I am tired, sore and itchy

That is all

:hug: You poor thing :( Shingles are horrible! I hope you feel better soon xx

Oh Hun :( Is DH home?

No, but kids went to daycare and I went to work. Came home after work to have a rest before i go and pick the boys up.

Genuine question, are shingles contagious?

Yes

You can catch chicken pox from touching/contact with the shingles rash if you've not had CP but you don't get shingles.

You have to come in contact with the fluid from the blister. Shingles is not as easily passed on as chicken pox. I have my rash covered with a wound pad to keep the infection contained. I also have a 2 year old who hasn't had his chicken pox vaccine.
