Isn’t there a shingles vaccine that is available? Is this an option to prevent shingles or is it a different strain or variation of the common shingles? I know I usually see signs for the vaccine at the drug store but have never gotten it because I work at home and don’t come into contact with lots of people that would put me at risk of getting it.

How do you get your vitamin levels checked? Is it a routine blood test or do you have to tell your doctor that you want to check your vitamin levels? I know there are some symptoms of not having enough of certain vitamins but others I didn’t know if there were symptoms or if one should be checked.

Is anti-thyroid medicine to be taken long-term or until the thyroid is reduced? Also in regards to RAI and the replacement hormone medicine, does that medicine have to be taken for the rest of one’s life? As far as worrying about being away from your kids, I would think about it in another way. You want to get better and be healthier so you can live a long and healthy life with your kids.

Hopefully your team of doctors can find out something soon. It’s got to be scary having heart attack symptoms and being told it’s not a heart attack but that they don’t know what is causing it. Have you been more stressed lately or going through a stressful situation? What have your doctor/s advised you to do?
