Thank you for your very comprehensive post Mike and all the information in it.
I have to say that my shingles have never been anything like as bad as those in 
the pictures you showed.  I just either get 'stabbing' pains on either set of 
ribs or under the fleshy part of my arms, or I get  four or five small lesions 
on my face.  These go when I apply 10ppm CS plus DMSO usually within a week or 
two or three weeks if I forget and don't apply the potion.  It always happens 
when I am particularly stressed; like having this fall and thinking my arm was 
broken!   
I usually enjoy quite good health although I am overweight and don't exercise 
enough, neither do I eat particularly well.  Its just that every once in a 
while, I get this bone tiredness which I can't explain i.e. I'm not doing 
anything different.  
I don't think it is mold, as our house is brick built and extremely well 
ventilated, plus we have central heating and there is no mold smell.  My hubby 
is a builder and he would know if there was damp or mold I am sure.  This is 
the UK by the way.
Thanks again for replying so comprehensively, I am finding the articles on 
herpes zoster most interesting.  dee
