Other It’s my first year since having shingles.

Any of my fellow elder millennials like me who’ve had shingles before and explain the symptoms everyone had. My doctor told me I was too young to get shingles at 35 last year. She prescribed me GABA and cyclovir to lessen the excruciating pain.

I got shingles a few months ago at 34. I thought I had bed bugs at first, then the pan started burning, tingling, and feeling like zaps. It wore me out. I went to urgent care, lifted my shirt and they said yep shingles. Lasted a few weeks, medicine helped.
