Have done a search of Lactnet Archives for my co-LLL Leader with a bad case of shingles. Found some good information but would like more information. She is tandem nursing two children. She is using some of the dietary supplements (L-Lysine) recommended but wonders if there are any drugs to treat shingles that are compatible with breastfeeding. She may be able to manage without, but wonders in case the pain becomes very bad. Thanks in advance for any replies.
