    Looks like it could be shingles. That shit can really hurt.

    People, particularly old people, with weak immune systems get it pretty often.

      I’ve looked into it further and no longer think it’s shingles. Too bad, since shingles can be extremely painful.

          People with shingrex often never get shingles unless immune compromised.

          Younger people who had the Zoster vaccine never get shingles.

          Shingrex is less shingles, not some jackass panacea.

            yeah since we’ve been talking krasnov in general, who would have been 50 some odd years old when shingrix and zostavax were released to the public, he’s not in the “never get shingles” group since he almost definitely got chicken pox when he was young. glad we’re on the same page.
