I take Naprosyn SR (coated and sustained release) and have been on it for years with great success but I always take it after a fairly good breakfast, I can't tolerate any of those meds on a near empty stomach.

A word of warning and it may not apply to you but for some reason I could NOT take the generic - Naproxen EN it upset my stomach something terrible. I have no trouble with the brand however. Good luck :luck:

Hi Lesley,

Apparently if you have shingles and you are around anyone who has NOT had chicken pox sometime in their past they can get chicken pox from your shingles. That's probably what the contagious bit is about. Shingles themselves can't be passed on.

I am glad the Aciclovir has been started, so many docs fail to do this and patients face big problems with nerve pain afterwards. Hoping you are feeling much better soon :hug:

love
Lily
