Person with past SHINGLES, pulmonary and heart disease gets this every day...? |
She had shingles two years ago exactly and complains of incredible itching every night a little while after dinner. And also at other times during the day. She's in her eighties, has COPD and CHF, high blood pressure and atrial fibrillation. Is this itching for real (it is all over her back, but especially in part of the area where the shingles developed), or is it just another elderly persons' "acquired" habit? Yes, the itching is really there, and yes, it is probably still the shingles. Shingles is a viral infection, so it stays in your body for life and can pop back up just like any other viral infection. She should be taking valtrex or acyclovir to help this. The itching is real. Probably from the Shingles. What do you mean by an elderly persons "acquired" habit? Take her back to the doctor. shingles can cause nerve damage she probably had them bad enuff that she has permanant damage |
