I have been on Ty for over 5 years now and recently developed the shingles. No bigee in the bigger picture and it happens... (48 yrs. old). However after 6 long months, shingles came back again and in the same area. 2 months after that, it came back again. Each time, my GP put me on an antiviral drug. Ok -- My last visit to my Neuro: He was up to speed on this issue and decided to keep me on antiviral drugs for as long as I am on Ty. His concern: Shingles shouldn't come back again so quickly and he and the team thought with Ty as immune suppressant, they would feel better If I took an antiviral for shingles for as long as I am on Ty. They said it can develop into viral meningitis. Mitigate the risk if you will. No problem.
Question: Anyone else on Ty have serious issues with the shingles?
Note: My older sis who has MS and been on copaxone for 10 years, has a relapse. She is now on Ty and after 2 months, she developed the shingles. Not a bad case Thank God but still. Makes one think...
Everybody enjoy the beautiful day!
---------------------------Short Story that made a lasting impression on me. More so now than ever.
I worked with this old fellow when I was 14 at old lexingtom market in baltimore. He never said a word. I also noticed a tattoo of numbers on his forearm and realized what this was about. One day a young worker came in from the cold and as normal was complaining how cold it was. The old man looked at him and for the only time I can remember said "Aren't you glad you can feel it?". It hit me like a ton of bricks but the other guy made some comments under his breath and went on his way. He didn't get it.
Now 35 years later I say to all of us still struggling, "Aren't we glad we can still feel too?" I sure am...
Make it a great day!!!!
