∙ 14y agoYes, you can get shingles more than once. Stress can cause them to come back as well as cause the pain of shingles to come back.

Does it mean im doing sonthing wrong in life to get shingles?
Getting shingles is something that happens unpredictably--some people never get it, some get it once, some get it more than once in their lives. After you have had chicken pox (which most of us had in childhood) the germ stays dormant in your body, but can occasionally flare up and cause shingles.
How long does it take to get shingles once you have been around someone wo has them?
From what I read on medicine net shingles can't be transmitted if you already had chicken pox and if you do get it then you will get chicken pox.
How many shingles to cover the roof crown?
Shingles vary in dimensions, and sometimes there are specific bundles of shingles made for the sole purpose of ridge coverage. If you are using the house shingles for ridge, take the length of ridge to be covered, divided by the exposure of the shingle to determine the number of ridge pieces needed. Normally you will get three pieces out of one full shingle. Once you determine the number of full shingles, find out how many shingles are in a bundle and purchase the smallest bundle of shingles necessary to complete the job.
Is shingles contaigous?
Yes, in a way. It is caused by the virus which causes Chicken Pox, and someone susceptible to Chicken Pox can get that from someone with Shingles. But if you've already had Chicken Pox, you won't catch Shingles. It's an opportunistic virus hiding out in your nervous system just waiting for your immune system to give it a chance. And if you've had the Chicken Pox vaccine, you should not be susceptible to either one.
What do you do if you get shinglesfor a second time?
Many people get chickenpox more than once during childhood. Therefore, it is not surprising that some people come down with shingles more than once. If a person suspects they have shingles, they should see a doctor to get some medication for the pain.

Can you get shingles from shingles if you have had shingles before?
No. Shingles is not contagious, but someone with shingles can give chicken pox or varicella to someone who has not had chicken pox before.
What can shingles cause in the human body?
Once a shingles outbreak has developed, it typically does not spread to other parts of the body. The rash almost never crosses from one side of the body to the other.
