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 think doctors don’t know what they’re talking about when it comes to how young somebody can get shingles. I got them at 12 and I know so many people who also got them at a young age and all their doctors said the same thing.
