...but I know a lady who had them for 20 years. Her husband passed a few years ago and I don't know if they still persist, but I do know she has suffered a long time from the malady. I had them 20 years ago, lasted two weeks and gone. I was lucky, even though I had a severe case of them.
My wife came down with shingles a few months before she died of breast cancer...never went away. I'm thinking it had something to do with a compromised immune system, but I'm certainly no doctor.
Hope yours ends soon!
