So sorry and hope you are mending as well as expected. I have not had it but DD gets shoulder recurrences if she gets sunburned ( she KNOWS to keep covered...!) Have seen many patients with it so have heard & observed their c/o discomfort.

Carla I hope you are well on the road to recovery. My sister in law got shingles as it took her quite a while to be totally over it. Given how fit you are, hopefully you bounce back quickly. We are all thinking of you.

Commiserations, Carla. I have no experience of shingles, but I understand that it can be very painful. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Carla, very sorry about this. My MIL had It and she still remembers the pain more than one year later.
I just learned from you Fabbers that one can get the vaccine even if they had chickenpox. Good to know!

Carla, how are you doing?
