I could not remember having chicken pox so when my husband got shingles I was concerned. He was miserable, he hurt and itched at the same time. A titer test told me that I indeed had chicken pox.

I got the shingles vaccine immediately.

Good for you. You need to get that vaccine every 5 years, but it is worth it not to get shingles.

I'm too young for shingles vaccine, but I got shingles 4 years ago. Shingles can heal and still be painful. I had stabbing pains in the side of my neck for years after the rash disappeared.
