Quoth Gaki View PostI went to the doctor and he seemed almost giddy when he said he's never, in his 41 years of practice, even overseas, seen an active case of: The Measles.
Quoth vikingchyk View PostI thought I was too young to get shingles,
Quoth EricKei View PostThen again, I don't recall me or my brother getting Viral Meningitis

That is such BS - if you want the shingles shot, and are willing to pay for it, and there isn't anything else going on health-wise that advises against it, they should give it to you!
That's also how I found out I can't take opioid derivatives or acyclovir. By the time I figured out the acyclovir was causing the problem, I had lost about 10 pounds and could have used an IV. That crap pretty much kept me from really eating or drinking for the better part of a week, I reacted to it so badly. Quit taking it, Excedrin pretty much took care of the pain, and I have a fairly high tolerance for pain anyway.
I do still have some postherpetic neuralgia in my face. Seems to be triggered by the barometer pressure changes. But I've got only one scar on my forehead that you can't really see unless I point it out.
Quoth laborcat View PostI got a shingles rash about the same time so I'm sure that shot isn't necessary.It's floating wicker propelled by fire!
