So I came down with shingles yesterday. VERY painful (and not recommended). Get a chicken pox vaccine if offered one.

@MalwareJake Did you ever have Chicken Pox as a kid?

@hal_pomeranz Yeah. I don't remember it hurting like this though. Doc gave me narcotics without even batting an eye.

@MalwareJake Chicken Pox vaccine doesn't help you avoid shingles if you've already had Chicken Pox as a child, or so I thought?

@hal_pomeranz But if you've had chicken pox the shingles vaccine works, right? That is the one you older folks are supposed to get. LMAO

@hal_pomeranz Correct. I was just making the point for all those "no vaccine" crusaders out there...
