Well sounds like I'm the youngest around here. I got it when I was 16/17. Honestly I kind of forgot about it for awhile but have weird nerve pain sometimes when I'm stressed now that I'm 41 so I assume it still lingers in me.

Looking to find out more about the vaccine and it's impacts on existing shingle victims.

I know one of my wife's childhood friends she got it at like 17 too. What was really interesting is her parents never had chickenpox, and they never caught it from them or something like that? Her brother also never caught it. There's some weird immunity to it I suppose or maybe it doesn't affect everyone the same.
