Skipped golf with the boys today because I have shingles. So, thought of brousing TOTV and came upon this post. Had to reply. Went to dermatologist a few days back because I had rash like or pimple like symptoms both in my back and front. When it started to become painful and itchy, went to see the doctor and was told I have shingles. Couldn't believe him as I had the shot only last October. I only found out now that it is not full proof. You still can get it. Having been taking pills for a few days and will continue to do so for another week. The pill probably is working as the rash or pimples have not spread and pain seem to be subsiding. I would highly recommend taking the shot as I was told that had I not taken the shot, the pain would have been ten times worth. I shudder at the thought.
