Shingles & type 1
I have been plagued w/ recurring shingles, twice in last 6 months. . . does anyone else have this issue? If you do, what do you do for the pain? The first time i got them was 13 years ago due to stress, then i got them 6 months ago right b4 i came down w/ appendicitis and had them removed. . .now i have them again and worried what is coming on the horizon. . is it from mental stress or physical stress. . shingles themselves are starting to stress me out!

I just heard on the news today that shingles can be re-occurring. I got them about 20 years ago so now searching to find out how often this occurs with diabetics. I am not ready to experience that ever again.
Francie, were you able to get the vaccine or did they nd up saying you were too young?

i was considered too young, but since i had my last of shingles, I was put on metformin to help control the Insulin Resistance along w/ the T1, and since then, i have not had any more outbreaks:) so far so good. .
