Today, the heat rash that has been devouring my side for the last week was revealed to be something much worse: shingles. FML

oww! good luck, hope you avoid nerve damage, take it easy if you can.

Seriously guys? Shingles is a viral infection within the roots of your nerves and is caused by the awakening of the dormant chicken pox virus a.k.a. Herpes Zoster. Can't get much simpler than that. I had it back in March on my ribcage, it sucked hardcore.

aww those suck I got then when I was 10/:

no joke man same thing is happening to me right now

aw crap! I still havent had the chickenpox and I'm about to be 19...kinda scared I'll get shingles later in life

You get shingles if you have had chicken pox before, so you're more likely to catch chicken pox at some point in your adult life rather than shingles

Get the Varicella vaccine ;) life is simple.

You know what they say. When life gives you shingles, build a roof.
