Have you had shingles?

[sheikalana]

I've been having shingles since 2020. Never had them before. I usually have once a year during winter time. I hate it.

[nolabels]

Wow, that's a bummer.

I'm 64.

I had shingles inside one of my eyes about twenty years ago, and then some months later, my legs had some milder shingle symptoms.

The shingles in my eye was excruciatingly painful. Excruciating.

I haven't had any shingles problems since then.

Have you looked into getting the vaccine for shingles?

If you had chicken pox as a kid, it becomes shingles later in life and flares up every now and then. :(

[sheikalana]

it really does I’ve experienced it more than once

[ShesRad80]

yes, i have they are painful and pain in the ass.

[Jerre]

I never had Shingles, but have been vaccinated for Shingles. Surprised you have it at such an early age. Most people are 50 and older when they get Shingles

[sheikalana]

first time I had shingles I was 29 and since then I’ve having shingles here and there once a year

[Jerre]

Sorry about that. Does it affect your life very much?

[sheikalana]

last time I had I had to report sick for work. I had shingles on my armpit and it was painful I could barely move around or lift my arm.

[Jerre]

I wish you the very best in the future

[In_Trance]

[Anonymous]

Yes.

[sheikalana]

Any idea why?

[Curmudgeon]

@sheilkana You had chicken pox as a kid, right? It translates into shingles as we get older.

The virus lies dormant in the base of your spine and it rears its ugly head when your body is under stress.

Try managing anxiety and stress and you would be good
