Public service announcement. If you’re over 50 get the Shingles vaccine. I have it over the right side of my face/scalp/eye. It’s extremely painful and kinda worried about regaining my vision. So get the vaccine people.

Only the unwashed masses get shingles.

Are you being treated? If you have shingles involvement in the eye you need to go to an ophthalmologist asap.

I have terracotta roof tiles

Does that count as shingles?

I had it on my back a couple of years ago. It’s very weird. And it sucked.

The newer shingrix vaccine is over 90 percent effective. It's two doses, taken 2-6 days apart. I just got it and was sick for two days, so plan for that. Guy at work my age missed 6 weeks last year because of shingles getting in his eye. Not risking that.

Shingles affects the CNS the same way a jellyfish sting does. Have someone urinate on the affected area and it will give you some relief. Large black women have higher levels of kn33-gapleze in their urine which is comparable to the active ingredient in lidocaine, so maybe you can run down to Burger King and catch one after they close.
