So it looks like it's not too late to get the vaccine to (probably) prevent a reoccurrence.


And thanks for your post - in the UK the NHS offer shingles vaccination when you're 70, but since I have some time to go until then, I'm looking into getting it privately.
You are most welcome, Paul. As I said, I am loath, 99.99% of the time to ever really discuss the details of my personal life, health, etc., other than small anecdotes and the like, but in this instance, I felt compelled. I would hate to see you or any of my MR acquaintances suffer with this, as severe as mine is, for no damned good reason other than being as dumb as I was.
