Reply #14: I never had chickenpox, but isn't it true you can get shingles if you had the pox as a child?

I am going to find out where I can get the vaccine since my daughter is starting a job working in a daycare and brings all sorts of cooties home to me.

Oh gosh, I just realized I never had German Measles, either.

I have heard of the incredible pain that can be associated with shingles. Something to do with the nerves, and not just an itching sensation.

You have my sympathy and I want to thank you for bringing this to our attention.
