ive had chicken pox three times and shingles twice

Answer by researcher
You CAN get chicken pox and shingles more than once.

Answer by Shake N Bake!!!
no, you can get it again. My mom had it 3 times. To have it more than once is very unsual, but very well can happen.

Answer by DRS
I do think Shingles can come back....and it is hard to get rid of in the first place, so if you have symptoms, it could still be from the first episode.

Answer by marshall y
You are not immune. The chickenpox virus is still in your nerves and can come out any time.
