I’ve had chickenpox as a little kid. Adults who’ve had chickenpox can develop shingles later on. Never gotten the vaccine :lupe:

You're fukked breh

Shingles is caused by the varicella-zoster virus — the same virus that causes chickenpox. After you've had chickenpox, the virus lies inactive in nerve tissue near your spinal cord and brain. Years later, the virus may reactivate as shingles.

You upped this thread too....you got the shingles

I've had singles. It was not an experience I would wish on anyone. I did go through a viral treatment to get them calmed down,

If your immune system is healthy, you should not have much of a worry. Mine was lowered because I was on anti-rejection drugs since I had a transplant kidney.
