Have you ever got the Shingles? I had it two, 1st time wasn't so bad felt like heat rash around my waist. 2nd time, OMG it got in my nervous system and I was down for a week. couldn't walk or just laying there hurt so bad. When I doctor told I could get the shot I did. Actually, I just my shot on Wednesday, it hurt and my arm still hurts but it's nothing compared to the last shingles I had
