I have had shingles 3 times, first when my son was born with problems had them on my stomach, second when my brother in law died young had them all down the nerves in my leg and thirdly when my mother died had them on neck and back of head. doctor told me stress related each time apparently lies dormant in the spinal chord i was told by doctorJust been told today I have shingles .
Never ever had this before .
Just battled off an eye inflammation , then toothache now it is this !
My BG levels have been higher than normal .
Plus am 'off' my food been more thirsty than actually hungry .
Plenty of water with either vimto/blackcurrant (all sugar free)
Or I crumble a orange berrocca tablet in water bottle to mix and get
my vitamin c - down me .
Up to now been shaky via the nervous system and have rash all
following this .
Docs say its a worse case they have seen for a while .
Am covered in it .
Physical stress factor has been mentioned by my doctors nurse yesterday .
So far its unpleasant and is extremely PAINFUL .
How long am I expected to have this for ?
Never having this before - I am unsure of 'what' to expect ...

@borderbird & @MizzRyan69 Hi & Welcome to the forum.
Have you had the long list of information we give to all new members from @daisy1

@MizzRyan69
Lots of us say the same, the NHS is diabolical with regards to giving the correct information for Diabetics.

Ye gods!I was literally informed after 4 fasting blood tests that I have t2 diabetes, (wouldn't let me drink the glucose as my readings were still too high) My GP went on to say you are now entitled to a free flu jab, handed me a leaflet for a place called 'Juggle' which I am not going to :-O and then went on to tell me that I needed to rethink my diet and an appointment would be made for me to see a diabetics nurse... I'm not overly 'Overweight' which has also been upsetting to read that there is a massive pre-judgement that type 2 are huge and eat everything in sight.... If anything I was not eating enough during the day... Sorry to ramble Neil... pleased to chat
