Just when I was starting to feel good, I have shingles!

I started to feel great, a bit more energy and overall just felt really good.  I posted early about random, non-pregnancy related symptoms I've been having.  Went to doctors and it's shingles.  According to Google, it's rare in pregnancy... go figure.  The doctors said I caught it early (Went in on Friday, wasn't diagnosed.  Symptoms worsened, returned today and was diagnosed).  Anyway, now I am just hoping to rest as much as possible and let the meds to the work.  I pray that I don't develop a severe case!  If it's not one thing, it's another!

    Tough break...that really sucks!!  Take care of yourself, destress as much as you can.  Shingles is generally brought on by stress, of course you can't change the physical stress of being pg with twins, but remove all other forms that you possibly can!

    I am sorry you are going thru this as I also have shingles, but have had it for about two years, prior to ever being pregnant. Your first outbreak is usually the worst and hope you are finding some relief as I know how painful they can get. Mine are always on my right hip/back and had a mild episode a few months ago. My doctor said it was due to the overall stress to my body carrying twins that triggered it. Feel better soon!

    Thanks for the replies, ladies. I also don't know much about shingles, so I'm learning. I don't have pain all the time, it comes and goes. I hope that it goes away quickly. I am resting as much as possible to reduce stress. Hoping to have relief soon.

    I am so sorry! I got shingles 4 weeks after I delivered my twins. Not fun, but luckily it was a mild case and was diagnozed quickly. I felt so much better after the second day of meds.

    I hope your meds kick in quickly. Rest and take it easy!
