You can have shingles more than once....Ive had it twice!!!
Once youve had chickenpox the virus lays dorment in the base of your spine & a variety of factors can flare it up, i.e stress or being in contact with someone with chickenpox...and then you have shingles! It can be very painful & it is particularly dangerous if you get it near your eyes! Also once youve had medication for it once, theres nothing that can be taken for repeated attacks

Has your Mum started using any new products? ie miosturiser, soap, washing powder etc or has she been eating or drinking something different? or been around animals? all these things can also cause rashes & are worth looking into as a process of elimination
If it is eczema dairy products can also play a large part in flaring it up.....so it may be worth while on cutting down on dairy for a while
Hope she gets it sorted out soon

Hi Princess Kammy, I have briefly talked to Usurper about pancreatitis (which could possibly be the condition you have?)
Have a look at this site www.pancreatic-disorders.com/
There are also other sites of help & also my partner who has suffered from pancreatitis for about 12 years can offer advice :o)
Hope you Get Well Soon!

A site which may be of interest to anyone looking for alternatives......
