re: Shingles- Tell me your stories of this illness

My Dad had it with a rash on his side and back, but it wasn't a bad case -- no pain until the blisters showed up. He had had the Shingles shot and the doctor said that probably mitigated the seriousness of the outbreak. Don't think they'll give you a Shingles shot unless you're over 50. He also had chicken pox 3 times which is odd.

Know a guy that had a bad case on the soles of his feet, and he was pretty miserable.
