Have you ever contracted shingles? My 24 Y/O step-daughter just did.

This is not her.

    No, I haven't had shingles.  That comes from the same virus as chickenpox and I never had chickenpox.  I have been tested and have a natural immunity to that virus.

  • I've never had chickenpox neither.  I have a relative that had shingles all over his/her face, not a pretty sight, and agonizing according to him/her.

    My mom got that and it was agony for her.

    She went to work with that too.   It was on her back and she was dying but went to work anyway.  I could NEVER work like that. 

    I hope your step-daughter doesn't have it too bad and gets it gone soon.  It is not fun.

    I never have.  I did have the shot for it about five years ago.

    Was an epidemic of shingles happening in the area of Manitoba where my sister lives couple of years ago. Her husband was infected. Painful. A vaccine was provided quick as possible.
