Anybody ever get shingles?

[Farmingdale's Finest]

I got it in July but was super fortunate. I got it on my back and thought it was poison ivy since it showed up a day after I was scouting a patch of woods.

All I had was itchiness and no pain. That apparently is the exception to the rule. The doctors prescribed a lotion and within a week I was back to normal.

Again this is not the norm from what I understand. I remember my MIL getting it and being in extreme pain for over a month.

If I understand it right, the virus never really leaves your body, but goes inactive and stays resident in your spinal column and can re-emerge later.

My grandmother got them on her 80 th birthday. She lived to be 96 and never really got over them. Good times and bad time with them. Good luck and hopefully you get over them.
