I know this sounds crazy but here me out! Thank you god bless! My name is colton and I'm almost 21. I worked at this chemical waste water plant about a year ago. Anyhow it had to Of been four mounths before I was layed off when. When I was driven a fork left to the other side of our plant. To a diferent company called east side resycaling. I was borrowing a medal bin to load up paper. I had on a yellow rain jacket, cuz I just got done cleaning a tank out. Anyhow I remember yellow jackets all around me! Well so I'm on this forkleft and on there side by a bunch of mexican recial workers picking up this ben when. A something hit my back. Like a nerv broke apart. Or as if a knife hit my spine in the middle. It was crazy I jumped off of the fork lift and looked around. Thinking what the f was that. I thought it was just a bee sting but it was a big bump in my back. Almost to big for a waspt (bee). Six mounths later I get dienost with shingles. Yeah kind of odd. I have not goten aids test done because I read in to it and most people whe get shingles gots aids. Is that true? And mY dad thinks I'm a person that takes something small and I'm dieing. Its been a year in a half I have no insurants and I'm getting test done with in two weeks. Just seeing if its stress that's maken my bode still have the shingles after a year? Or is it something elce aid? Or something elce? Thanks for reading this I no it sounds a little nuts but anything helps tell the test get done . Colton

Shingles could be a symptoms of HIV... simply because when you have HIV, your immune system is compromised. However, shingles is common in some fibromyalgia patients and even some healthy patients.
