I was a healthy 64 year old male who received the Zostavax vaccine on 2/5/08. Ten days later, my doctor diagnosed me with "classic shingles". He put me on Valtrex for 7 days and I am still (1 month later) suffering with red spots on my (right) chest, pain in my right arm and shoulder, and severe itching. I notified Merck and my doctor also did! I read Merck's "double blind" studies, and nowhere does it simply say: this vaccine can cause you to contract shingles. I have all the documentation as well as pictures. Please caution anyone who wants to gamble with their health.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24549381.post-593707613593721232008-03-31T16:05:00.000-07:002008-03-31T16:05:00.000-07:00I would like to point out, that Zostavax can cause...I would like to point out, that Zostavax can cause shingles.

Is that true? Also, if it does work for that, could it potentially reduce the severity of outbreaks in those already infected?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24549381.post-1164040290344008322006-11-20T08:31:00.000-08:002006-11-20T08:31:00.000-08:00I just want to say I'm very proud of you .
