Answers:
They do have a shingles vaccine but I'm not sure how effective it is!. My parents just received a dose at their last physical!. I'm not sure of any other ways to prevent it!.
With that said, a few remedies I know of are: crush two aspirin (make sure aspirin is ok with your meds or your health history) and make a paste with 2 tbsp!. rubbing alcohol!. Dab paste on lesions!. I'm kind of a nervous nelly with medication so I would double check with doc or pharmacy if this would be ok considering your health history and other meds!. You can also try vitamin E oil, gel from Aloe Vera, or fresh leeks ground up in a food processer!. Dab onto lesions!.
I am so sorry you are going through this!. My grandpa had the shingles and it was very, very painful!. I hope you get to feeling better soon!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Where do you get the idea that acyclovir will give you cancer!? Maybe one person got cancer in some study, so they have to list it as a possible side effect!. You are not going to get cancer!. Don't panic!. You sound like an excitable person!. That's usually good, but not in this case!. Calm down!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
