yeah I got them mwhen I was quite young :'( I still have the scars on my tummy they had to get painted off with this stuff that burnt it off, that hurt like a biatch esp. cause I was wee. I bet you only have to take a pill nowadays.

i had it really really bad, but luckily it didn't leave any scars.
i had incredible pains for over a week. regular painkillers didn't work at all.
good luck with it.

I got shingles when I was on holiday during Italia 90, probably all those dirty Italians in the swimming pool or something. Think it lasted about 2-3 weeks all in but I don't remember it hurting but I am much tougher than you.

I had it a few years back, more of a discomfort than pain.

Do you mean shingles, or chicken pox?
You get chick pox when your young, shingles when your old.
Not a huge difference between the two, although shingles can be potentially fatal.

mine were stress-related shingles. broke out only on the right side of my body.

nah i had shingles when i was about 14 or 15 - it is totally different from chicken pox.
you get big wlets that fill with fluid and burst then scar permanently if you scratch them.
smilar to chicken pox but far worse in every respect.
