Modifying is a sickness. We can’t help it, we’re all sick puppies.

hey Greg I've had it twice once way back in 1994 when I was in the states for 9 months and the second time a year or so ago, apparently it is from coming into contact with someone that has the chicken pox virous, if you have had it as a child it doesn't actually leave your body and can be triggered.

Yes I looked it up, that's shitty.
I don't recall ever having chicken pox, however i do remember getting the jabs when i was young, that may not have been for the pox though.
Does anyone know if you can get vaccinated against shingles ?
