    Hope you get better sooner than later, Brother. Don't pop the blisters. Let them do themselves.



    Stress can also trigger them.

      I thought for sure some docs would be working tomorrow. So far no luck.

            This is what I was prescribed. It has the same effects as alcohol apparently.

                I've had them a couple of times, years back. It was usually a cluster of blisters on my lower back right on the beltline. Calamine lotion was all the sawbones told me to use. Going to look into the shot now that I'm 65.

                  Had shingles at least 15 years ago on the top of my head. Got over them but to this day my head itches from time to time in the exact position. Good luck. Wish them on nobody

                    Did you get the new vac (2 shots) they came out with?

                      I meant antiviral meds that they generally prescribe at an outbreak.
