Doctor thinks I have shingles

[AriellaMer]

I haven't had immunization shots when I was a baby. Never had chicken pox but I did get maybe 2 shots (can't recall) in high school to attend college. Anyone else possibly have shingles? The doc said he believes it is shingles and should go away on it's own

Yea having shingles is one of the worst pains ever. When I had it I was 16-17. I'm not sure if they go away on their own or not. I was prescribed cream for mine.

I think I might've had the chicken pox vaccine though and that could've been in my system. It does hurt but it's fading away

So if anything, if you've never had chicken pox it would be that before shingles. If someone comes into contact with someone with shingles and has never had chicken pox, you'll get the chicken pox not shingles!

Well did you ever have the chicken pox? You get those before shingles.

Trust me when I say this shingles hurt like a mother bear! Worst pain ever. I don't think pregnancy and shingles are that cut and dry. I've had them before but not during a pregnancy.
