Shingtex

I am a 49 yr old female living in the US and I have BCBS and a history of shingles. My dr called the script over to the pharmacy and it was covered almost 100%. Dr offices don’t carry it yet and won’t for about another four months. Not sure why but we can only get it at a pharmacy.   My first week of shot symptoms were similar to having a full case of shingles.  Fortunately I planned a week off because I needed it.   I have serious side pain from my rib cage to my knee and only on my right side. I used to get the red spot but no longer. Now I just have the pain of having the red spot. This time I also broke out with canker sores in my mouth which I have never had. I had my dr call in kenalog ointment for my mouth which works wonders.   Ironically my dr was unfamiliar with kenalog so I googled it to confirm spelling and called her back with the info and then we got it right. The generic brand was a few dollars as my dr thought it was going to be grossly over priced. My second shot is this month. I will let everyone know the outcome and I can only hope it’s as effective as pp are saying. I have been suffering for 22 yrs.   Feel free to ask me any questions, I would be happy to help.
