You can have shingles more than once....Ive had it twice!!!
Once youve had chickenpox the virus lays dorment in the base of your spine & a variety of factors can flare it up, i.e stress or being in contact with someone with chickenpox...and then you have shingles! It can be very painful & it is particularly dangerous if you get it near your eyes! Also once youve had medication for it once, theres nothing that can be taken for repeated attacks
