I've never had the chickenpox either, but not because I had the vaccine for it, just one of those people who never got it as a kid. My younger brother never had it either and my dad didn't get it until he was in his early 20's from a family friend's kid.
Hopefully that means you don't have a sleeping giant hiding in your nervous system waiting to emerge and you have no risk to shingles.
Im 47, unjabbed and have just lived the longest 4 weeks of pain in my life.
I had shingles for the first time a few years back .. had a line of really painful spots from my back going round to my chest. It was Aussie winter and I couldnt bear the pressure of even a thin quilt or sheet near those sores, so had to leave my top half uncovered all night. Thats one condition I never want to go through again!
Agreed fren. My pain was in my ribs/spine. I was convinced i tore a muscle and caught poison ivy at the same exact time. Hopefully neither one of us ever get that again. Ironically this was the same time I fell off my vitamin regiment for two weeks.
For us youngin's who didn't get the pox, but the vaccine for it, what would that mean for us?
