wait, when she meant the majority that gets shingles will not get it aging if that is ture why not explain and give evidence to back it up. I just got shingles on my eyelid for two days third day dired up and blister over and the following day you can bearly notice now. I took acyclovir and some special tea to help rosemary & chamomille etc. (18 year old hate the virus so much i wish we can wipe it out for good.)

So you have a 50/50 chance of the vaccine working-in other words you have a 50/50 chance of it not??? Hmm...so I'd rather not get vaccinated for it when it's the same percent chance. Duh!

My Shingles:

Day 1-2 joint/nerve pain in right Shoulderblade area, fatigue.

Day 3-4 shingles rash developing under my right armpit from right nipple to right shoulderblade. Went to see doctor, Famciclovir prescribed.

Day 5 Rash becomes "bubbly",feel fatigue.

Day 6-7 pain in the joints gone, mild fever (37.2C) and sever migranes. (Not really sure what causes migranes, Shingles or Famciclovir).

Im at day 8 right now. Still have a bubbly rash,no fever,migrane or fatigue.Hope to get better.

I have shingles right now, on my forehead, scalp and eye. It's painful, depending on your pain tolerance. My eye itches and my forehand feels like it is being pricked by a thousand needles, oh yeah i look like the toxic avenger. i would not wish this on my worst enemy!!!
