Hi all

Just been diagnosed with Shingles, painful and feel like rubbish. My question is can I carry on working whilst I have this. Doctors says its ok to carry on but I want you guys that have had it to tell me.

Hi Neil

I had shingles and just carried on as normal, worst bit was when Karate instructor made the lads lie on the  floor and told the girls to walk across our stomachs to see how strong we were, trouble was I had shingles across my stomach and it was a little painful

Shingles is closely related to Chicken Pox so you should be fine Neil.

Cheers

I think if they catch it early enough it's less of a problem long term, so you should be ok.
