Enriqueta, this doctor did not tell you the truth. You can get shingles Multiple times. Myeloma patients need antivirals for shingles prevention. I also had both Shingrix shots. Shingles can cause post herpetic neuralgia that can cause pain for years. My brother in law had shingles 3 or 4 times. So painful

Shingles is painful and itches if you had chicken pox at younger stage of life it can come back later stress age too much caffeine like coffee tea chocolate works on nervous system can cause flare ups shingle shots help but for me I had just small blisters break out on buttocks thought it was spider bites Dr said shingles so to help itching Keep applying clean wash rags soaked in alcohol hold on blister to dry up any liquid. Also found out that that liquid is contagious if it gets on any surface and can transfer to another person.
Rest and no stress is very important to quickly get back to normal!!! Stay off the caffeine!!!

I have had root canals after MM diagnosis without any problems because they don’t like pulling teeth because they are afraid it won’t heal and could cause a jaw infection. I met a guy who had a regular dental cleaning and he got a jaw bone infection and had part of his jaw replaced with titanium so I would recommend you go too a dentist who deals exclusively with cancer patients. My dentist won’t do anything without having me check with my cancer dentist first.

I have 14 answers. 6 had root canals. 2 had shingles. 4 had both. 2 had none

I have had a root canal but I did ask my oncologist first. Now I need an extraction of the same tooth! I must hold the Revlimid for 2 weeks after the procedure. Had shingles 34 years ago (I was only 38) but have gotten the shingles vaccine. Also take acyclovir twice a day for prevention of any future shingles outbreak.
