So while not foolproof, given how miserable the disease it, combine with the fact that the pain may last years (!), I would definitely get the vaccine. I think the new vaccine above is available now or so I understood from my doctor.
I'll have to check and see what the VA is offering at my next visit. Thanks for the info.

Or car names, or 'high end audio' names, or alternative-medicine names, cosmetic names. I bet they get paid heaps.

Twice I have been given an incorrect drug by a graduate pharmacist at a local pharmacy. The similar-looking name one was for a totally unrelated condition. :oops: Maybe there is no over-arching check for name similarity before release approval.

Shingles virus's love glucose and takes up residency in nerves. I like to always check everbody for not just fasting blood sugar but average blood sugars over the last 120 days HBA1c and do fasting insulin on everyone so as to see how well sugar levels are maintained. Insulin is most proinflammatory hormone in body if not tightly regulated. maintained . Amir you can ask about his at RMAF if you like.

Enough of the functional medicine discussion.

Amir, sorry to hear about your illness. Well try to get feeling better, your Uber driver will just have to use Yelp and whatever the concierge at the hotel recommends. I know a few places downtown to go but after I busy day of listening speakers, I'll stick close to the show.

Any speakers in particular you want me to check out, Amir?

Don't worry Amir, I will tell the members from other forums you have shingles and couldn't make it. Then they will probably say shingles? Now that Amir guy is Double Persona Non Grata!:eek:

I'm just kidding, of course

To stay off topic, my doctor said this a soon to be related improved shingles vaccine you can get before age 60. Do you know anything about that Doc?

I came down with a terrible case of Shingles. This thing is one of the worst diseases out there. Weeks of severe pain and now weeks of itching like you have never experienced.

Sorry to hear of this. I know it can be a horrible disease. Yet you keep working, testing,
publishing....... o_O

Wishing you a speedy recovery,

Thanks again for your hard work! :)

@amirm sounds like you are still recovering and won't make it to AXPONA?

Get well soon. My father was battling with that last year... :-(

No no , we talked about this ,, you distract the great unwashed with a few public executions if there’s any kind of unrest or disapproval in the mist but never admit any kind of weakness or venerability as this will lead the plebs to hold open revolt against you and Iv not got enough rope in stock to put down another revolution.
