question
So! I have the worst luck ever and always get weird or unheard of infections/viruses and I have been diagnosed with shingles (gross, I know). Now, I looked it up online AND went to the NHS and it says they are only contagious to people who haven't had chicken pox, yet I have two friends who are nurses and both say they're contagious even if you HAVE had chicken pox.
Has anybody else heard this?
I mean, now I'm on some serious anti-viral medicine and am rubbing calamine lotion on like crazy. I still would like to know though if they're only contagious to those who haven't had chicken pox, or if they're just contagious either way etc.etc.etc.
PS: I now have a blow-up mattress. I got it on 6th.
