Hi,
I'm 30 and have just been diagnosed with shingles and it's grim to put it mildly. I had a baby six months ago who was delivered by c-section. I'm not sure why I have shingles...I'm pretty healthy although I am prone to getting stressed and am rather tired due to getting up in the night/lack of sleep. I also have a TMJ/jaw problem. I was wondering how many other young mums out there had had it, whether they made a full recovery and whether it was particularly common in women who'd had sections? I also wondered if those who had the illness had managed to protect their babies from contracting chickenpox? I lot to ask, I'm just keen to hear from other people who've been in the same situation so I know I'm not alone!
