    I had the weirdest experience with shingles in my 30s. It didn’t hurt. It itched and was uncomfortable, but not painful. Doc said it’s unusual but not uncommon.

    But just because it didn’t hurt me doesn’t mean I go around telling people shingles isn’t so bad and people shouldn’t get vaccinated.

      I had the same and a terrible headache, my doctor said it was “shingles light”. The headache alone made me throw up a few times.
