For years, I am told I have shingles and keep breaking out on my backside, usually right side and it occurred after I fell really hard on a cement floor. Doctor did a C-Section because of my break out. A few years ago I was found to have 12.5 level of Vit. D3 and when I continue taking these faithfully, I rarely have a breakout. Now I am told it is not shingles after years of many doctors saying it is. How many times can it reoccur? Can you have one to two every year? So confused...yes they sting, burn, are blisters and very painful.
