I am a nurse diagnosed with shingles. Is it ok to go to work? I have been on Val!


Question: I am a nurse diagnosed with shingles!. Is it ok to go to work!? I have been on Valtrex for 3 days!.!?
All of the research I have found talks about it only being contagious to those not having chickenpox!. It doesn't address the need to stay away from people in general!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Dbemard i agree with you!. Here is a thumb up!.
Whether you have been a nurse for one day or ten years common sense would tell you to ask your doctor about going back to work if he did not mention it to you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I take medications to suppress my immune system, after an organ transplant!. Please do not come near me!. I have not had chicken pox!.

How would you know that you are not in contact with people who have not had chicken pox!? At work, or at the store, etc!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you're a nurse, you ought to know that!.!.!.!.or at least a doctor you could call!. What the heck are you asking us for!? My faith in the medical world is now shot!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
