Today is my three year anniversary from the date I got Shingles. My hip, knee and abdominal muscles on my right side are still fucked up from the nerve damage it caused.
I'm finally, as of about a month ago, down to a one 75mg pill a day of my nerve pain medication, after a high of 300mg a day for a long time.
Go get your shingles shot if you're eligible (ie 50+ or immunocompromised) and have had the chicken pox. Do it.
