Hi Brenda,

IMO, I would look to taking a methyl form of B12 as well as a B complex with the usable forms of the vitamins. Being a vegetarian can very well result in low b12 stores. If you can get your zinc checked, that would be good too. B12 is needed to maintain health. The important blood/bone marrow nutrients are B12, folate, b6, copper, zinc and iron.

Shingles can appear on the face. Shingles usually present on only one side of the body starting from the spine and moving out along dermatones (zones on the skin where nerves branch out from the spine.) The path of the rash follows the nerve coming from the spine. You will usually feel tingling, pain or itching before you break out into the rash.
