re: Anyone get the shingles vax?

I've had shingles and it was the worst pain I've ever felt. It started in my armpit & I initially thought it was just a rash from changing deodorant so I ignored it for far too long. By the time I had it looked at it spread around my back and chest and I was in such immense pain even the air from the vents would cause it to hurt. I had to take a frick load of pain pills for over a month as the meds cleared it up. I still occasionally have random pains in my back that feel like it's about to kick back up.

Long story short, get the shingles vaccine. You really really don't want shingles.
