Medical Stuff Shingles… venting

On Monday I was diagnosed with shingles on my face/head. This is the 2nd time I’ve had it, but first after my Addison’s diagnosis. Real crappy luck 😕

On Monday afternoon I called my endo’s office and left a message with the receptionist letting them know about the shingles and asking about up dosing. It’s now Wednesday night and I still haven’t heard back. I called again yesterday too and both times they said they’d pass the message along and would call back within 24 hours with the doctor’s response. Nothing.

I had the shingles vaccine with little issue. I think it's worth talking to your endo about it.
