AIH and opportunistic viral conditions -- to et.al.

[Guest guest]

Shingles --

Gosh. They ARE painful. , I forget, and don't follow all that well

these days, but are you on prednisone or Imuran? Because shingles is a

herpes-like virus, and if your immune system is down, you will get this

" opportunistic " type of condition. Those drugs seem to welcome it. My daughter

had

one under her arm when she was on 60 mg. of prednisone a day. Horribly

painful.

Good luck.
