Has anyone had any experience with PD and > Shingles and do you have any suggestions? Thank you Two years ago Fuad also had a bad case of shingles. He had it on his head. It lasted for about three monthes and took a second herpes drug to completely rid him of it. It took several months to get back his strength. Even with that, the doctors office said we were lucky, that some people take as long as a year to clear. Barb CG for Fuad 60/diag 3+
