I was stressed out and over worked then my house mate at the time got chicken pocks.
The doc said the fact my house mate had chicken pocks was not relevant; whatever.
It sucked. For several years later it would feel like water was dripping off my eyebrow, nerve damage. All better now.
Gotcha. Apparently I had chicken pox when I was very little so I am at a higher risk of getting shingles. Would you recommend I get the vaccine or no?
No I wouldnt get it. Like I said my mom got the shingles vaccine and got shingles sometime after that anyway. Actually i believe she said she has had shingles twice since then.
The drug acyclovir really fixed me up quick. Some pharmaceuticals are ok and some are not. The doc said if I were in mexico or something like that I would have lost my eyesight in my left eye.
If you are worried, do some research and get a hold of some acyclovir. The hardest part with that is diagnosing yourself; especially when you are sick and nervous; but if the shit has hit the fan and the drug stores are closed it would be good to have some knowledge and meds handy.
Thanks for the info. I’ll check into acyclovir.
