On the shingles subreddit, someone got it before 50, and it gave them some kind permanent issue. Don't try to aggressively pursue shingles vaccine before 50, because there hasn't been significant studies on it. The subreddit got pretty anal and restricted the sub, because people were being called out for not having shingles, when they keep posting " is this a shingles rash, when it clearly its something else"
Interesting, do you remember what the permanent issue was? Not being able to keep balance for 3 days seriously scared me, but everything returned to normal.
i dint know i had phn, until i visited that sub, it only lasted a couple years though. its nerve damage, mostly at the site where the scars is, its numb where it is, and hypersensitive touch surrounding skin. also a wierd spasm where the scars are if i poke aggressively. shingles cause all sorts of sensation abnormalities, once you have siginifcant scarring(which indicates alot of damage) the size was only larger than a quarter, compared others(where you see back to front rashes). i knew 2 people who had cranial shingles(which affects the eyes )
