They are apparently becoming more prevalent in younger people. My doc believes there’s a connection to the Covid vaccine. I’m only 35 and got diagnosed today. Anyone else notice this happening? My doc also said he saw a 22 year old a couple weeks ago with it all over his back. It’s supposed to be really rare under 50.

I've had them 5 or 6 times. I'm 37. First time I've had them was when I was about 22. Mine are caused by stress. After hurricane Laura, which destroyed my house, I had them three times in two months. I did not get the fake Covid vaccine.

Probably caused by carbohydrates or eating 3+ meals a day

Buddy of mine got them last Summer. He was really stressed out with his job and said this is probably what did it.

Had a mild case a couple years ago. Was 32 at the time. Thought it was poison ivy at first.

People usually get ill on a Friday after work when their doctors are off (?). My very good medical friend told me on initial shingles diagnosis (in the first 24ish hours) to get a vitamin C IV. Suppose to knock it out. It's usually difficult to obtain through ER. I'M NOT a doctor. Just info that may be helpful for the next time? Hope you heal quickly.

I got Shingles around the age of 30 and was going through some work stress. I told the Doc I never had chicken pox, they ran some tests, and apparently I did at some point.

I got the 2nd dose of vaccine and, not only did it kick my arse, shingles broke out on my arm 3 days later. I felt the nerve tingle on the second day and shingles showed up on the third.

I TOTALLY contribute my case to the vaccine.
