I always think of shingles as making you shake and stuff, but that's that Michael J. Fox disease.

I thought only really really old people and advanced AIDS patients got shingles.
Nevermind. |

I am taking zovirax, and morphine patches. Neither is helping.
It is around my waist from midline of my back to my hipbone. |

Did you READ what you just posted? If the disease is eradicated, HOW ARE YOU GOING TO CONTRACT IT? But - its not. The disease provides about 90% immunity (got this from the WHO). So, you aren't going to eradicate the disease, just reduce it substantially There is no 'evidence of the vaccine not providing 'lifelong protection' since the vaccine has only been in existance slightly over a decade. Um, as soon as you get the disease after you've been vaccinated, that tosses out the idea of lifelong immunity. According to the WHO, there is (SO FAR) a 90% immunity rate, which is very good Incidentally, I am giving my son the vaccine but not at 1 - he'll get it at 3 if he hasn't contracted it naturally by then |

Didja read that article on itching in this week's New Yorker? It featured a woman who developed a chronic itch after a case of shingles. She scratched
THROUGH HER SKULL.
That was cool. Sorry for your pain, TRho. I know shingles is a pain like no other. |

The pain is incredible. There really is no describing it.
Incidentally, I am giving my son the vaccine but not at 1 - he'll get it at 3 if he hasn't contracted it naturally by then You are a stupid cunt. |

Yup. It feels great knowing that I have this natural immunity to shingles just pumping through my veins.
