Yes it does prevent Shingles. Two of my neighbors (males in their 70’s) developed Shingles several years ago. Extremely painful and drawn out condition. Made me a believer! You post covered a most important topic. Thank you.

"Funny the VA just sent me a bunch of Vit D say I have a severe deficiency..I guess I’ll take a few and see what happens."

Make sure it's vitamin D3, not D2...I've read that D2 is made from plants and is nearly worthless for humans.

Thanks.

My dad had shingles shortly after his heart attack and heart operation. He said that shingles were worse/more painful than any of the heart problems.

Yes, I've heard that. On the other hand, my mother-in-law had them and said they were just a nuisance.
BTW, I believe you are safe from shingles if you've never had chicken pox.

They gave me 50000 units of D-2 weekly and 2000 units of D-3 daily. I guess D-3 is not available in 50000 unit dosage in the US which seems kinda weird..and they want go get the level up as quickly as possible (its a 5) so I guess the D-2 will have to do..
