    Dily,

    Yes, I fell down today in the ocean with my regular clothes on, not my swimsuit, if that tells you anything! I fall at home, as well.

    Hello dily 

    Yes,  I get vertigo with having shingles!  I know exactly how you feel! I had shingles 3 or so months ago!  I took the anti viral within the required 72 hours!  After that time I just got another mild bout!  I don’t know how long this can repeat itself!  I feel lost and confused because here in the island I don’t know anyone who had repeated bouts of shingles!  

    My mom had shingles and my sister as well and they never had it again and that was three years ago!  They had it under their breast and torso!  I got shingles on my scalp and I ask my self is there a difference when it’s on the scalp?  Heard here that on the scalp takes months before it goes away!!

    I am dizzy all the time!!  Where do you have shingles?

      Have you tried other anti vitals?  Have you tried Zovirax?  I am dizzy most of the time and I took Zovirax for 7 days and the dizziness wasn’t bad!  Try that one because you can put cold pads too
