Things I have in common with TLR

I didn't realize you were old enough to have shingles. Everyone that I know that's had them is 60+

Apparently I'm just special.

yeah, that's crazy...can't wait till i get them!

funny story...like 10 years ago was at my parents house for christmas, and was getting some advil from their bathroom and saw valtrex prescribed to my mom in the cabinet. well of course i had to say something!! i'm like mom, you have herpes??!! lol, no it was for shingles she apparently had on her back. (or so she says?)

My cousin is 43 and had them a couple of months ago. A family friend had them at 21.

Is there a shingles epidemic right now? You would be the fourth person I know with them. From what I've been told they are one of the most painful things you can get. Good luck.

I don't mean to be a baby, but it feels like I just pitched a double header with a torn rotator cuff.

Basically, I'm Mark Mulder now.

It was really fun when Mrs. Zeus came back from the pharmacy and announced "here's your Valtrex prescription!"

Everyone who's ever had chickenpox has the virus dormant in their body, apparently.

Ironically I can now change your custom rank but you can't change mine.

when i got them, i was putting a lot of stress on my body--weightlifting hardcore, taking a bunch of supplements/creatine, etc and not exactly eating healthy so it was somewhat counterproductive.

I think it was my body's way of saying "chill the [expletive] out, bro"

In my case, I have a 2 year old that doesn't want me to sleep and a $900 million project of doom to figure out how the hell to manage.
