Just had shingles. Do not recommend. Get vaccinated.
Side note: If you do get shingles near your eye, go to the eye doctor, it can blind you if bad enough
had at 20, although it was only shocks and pain a small rash. it did have permanent damage though, but its not severe like a huge rash. numb right where the scars are, and hypersensitive right outside the rash(this was more than 10years ago), and spinal stiffness. i did get phn for a couple years though. (the nerve damage is permanent though,outside of the phn)
I had a shingles outbreak a few years ago during a time in my life that I had extremely high stress. It covered half my chest and was too painful to touch to do anything other than lay or sit still. Putting on a shirt felt like getting sliced by razor blades, and something like putting on ba seatbelt felt like being stabbed. Would not recommend.
did you spine ever get stiff, mines did so i could bend properly, so it was quite difficult. apparently mines went to the spine.
Thankfully I didn’t have any lasting effects, just 3 days of awful pain
im guess mine went long enough to reach the spine, it doesnt take much since the dorsal root ganglion is right next to it.
