Had it about 12 years ago. It broke out in a two inch circular rash. I had a Dr. Appt the next morning anyhow. Gave me Acyclovir and was dried up in two additional days. Itched a little but by that time was gone. Occurs on the side of the body it went dormant in the nerve most likely when you had Chicken Pox.
Never understood why folks get Shingles vaccines? Varicella Zoster has no cure, is self limiting and does not leave the body. No cure for Chicken Pox why would anyone believe a vaccine is a cure for Shingles. I know so many people that have taken the double boost Shingles vaccine and still got it. Seems the anti-viral may be a better option if you get it.
