50+? Get Vaccinated!!

My shingles are internal. They feel like they are burning my nerves in my shoulders down my sides when they are active.

Since I have chronic respiratory failure I get bronchitis several times a year. The shingles always follow the treatment of the bronchitis.

I have been turned down for shingrex due to age.

Never had it, but I've heard that it really hurts!

For what it's worth?

Get the vaccine. I have shingles now. On top of my head and around right eye. Week 1, hopefully to will be gone sooner then later!

Yeah, something that never crossed my mind until the blisters started? I recently quit smoking and cut back on my Bourbon intake..told my Doc this morning my system is out of whack without the daily poison?

Kinda ...was told stress can bring it on.

Shingles are no joke.

Just seeing this. When I was little and had chicken pox, I had blood blisters like that on my palms and our family doc had no explantion for it. Scared my parents to death but it ran it's course and went away. Never seen that again til this thread.

I had 3 cases of chicken pox between 30 and 40 years of age.
I have been vacinated with both types of vaccine.

My brother had it on his legs. I thought he was blowing the pain out of proportion until I saw him in person and I could see pain on his face.

Last night was the 1st to get some sleep more than 30+- minutes having to get up.

This morning the blisters are almost all scaled over, turned black now. This has been the "damedest" crazy thing I've ever had. On the downside now I hope!!

Try having shingles on your **** like I am getting over right now. That’s right, on my junk! Talk about a bad few weeks. Obviously, the doctor thought it was the STD version, but it made no sense. Wouldn’t you know it, the shingles test came back positive! I’m only 31. I’m just praying there is no permanent feeling loss associated with it.

I had them back in the middle 70’s before they had any remedies.
Had them solid on my left side from middle of my stomach to middle of my back and from my neck to my waist.
Thought I was going to die, literally.
Yes, I took the vaccine, no questions asked.
