Diagnosed with shingles today -- riding okay?

Oh man Keith I'm sorry. Heal up well.

Sorry to hear about the recurrence Keith. Hang in there my friend.

Sounds like you had a pretty mild case previously. Let's hope this is the same.

Had a mild outbreak about a month ago. On my back just outside the armpit. Most uncomfortable thing I ever experienced and that includes the broken ankle from a couple of years back. The anti-viral should kick in in a couple of days.

Bummer about the recurrence and the marginally effective vaccine. I thought I was clear now. Before you know, this will be a old thread again ...

That's my hope too.

FDA has now approved GSK's shingles vaccine - Shingrix. Here is an article with Q & A's from the Washington Post: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...=.723acfa7523d

I had a mild case of shingles in my 30s. This thread is inspiring me to check into the new vaccine to prevent going through that again. Who knew Paceline would have health benefits?
