No. I had shingles twice, diagnosed twice by doctors, no doubt at all. Both times my shingles symptoms were quite mild because I recognized what was happening and immediately went on medication. I haven't had a reoccurrence since I had the shingles shot.

Seeking immediate medical care for shingles is critical. If you have a suspicious rash.... run, don't walk to the nearest Urgent Care Clinic.
