I have shingles and have to look after my 1yr old son. What do I do?
I just broke out in a rash 3 days ago and the doctor says it's shingles and my 1yr old son can catch chickenpox from me. So far he has been either at his grandmothers or been looked after by his dad while I stay in the bedroom, but in the next 2 days my husband will have to get back to work.
My son's grandparents also need to go back to work and I have mo one else to look after him.
I really don't want him to get chickenpox, does anyone have any ideas on either speeding up my sickness or helping me shield my very clingy baby?

My grandfather had shingles and was around me the day after (I've never had chicken pox) and I was fine, so there's a chance youre not still contagious, ask your doctor about it. But if you are you should probably hire a baby sitter unless theres someone else in your family to take care of your son.

Did you know you had shingles before you had the baby... it's not one of those things they can cure, outbreaks will happen all the time throughout your life.
I'm just asking because I feel, you having a baby, KNOWING you had a contagious disease, is a form of child abuse... but you wanted to be selfish huh.
Well why don't you hire a nanny you can give your shingles too, hell infect the whole world while your at it.
Seriously what hope is there.
