My wife had shingles last year, fucking terrible. The good news is that insurance may cover your shingles vaccine earlier than it normally would because you’ve already had it once. I think usually you have to wait until age 55.

The risk of postherpetic neuralgia rises with age. It mainly affects people older than 60.

How old are you?

So it turns out I’m still in the acute phase of shingles.

All the postherpetic neuralgia symptoms I am having are too early … onset of that would be months out.

Worst itch/scratch last night so far and basically zero sleep.

Shingles is, yes, a form of the herpes virus.

Herpes Zoster to be exact.
