I got them 1.5 years ago at 26. I don't have any scars, but I got them on my

chest. It sucked and would wake me up at night because it would sting and itch, but it went away after a couple weeks

If it was both eyes simultaneously, unlikely to be shingles. Usually a single

My wife has shingles. Get meds and also reduce stress in your life

The doc thought it might be from the stress of marathon training...

whiteninja

what is your schedule like? shouldn't be that taxing on the body at this point

BlueFrog

Well last week and this are really easy 2 weeks ago was rough...

whiteninja

that's too many miles. when is your marathon?

BlueFrog

This week.

whiteninja

seems like too heavy of a schedule to me. A 10-15-10-20 week is my big week before a 50 miler not a marathon. Good

BlueFrog

Thanks...that was actually my best week...

Chicken pox virus. Your marathon schedule might be compromising nervous system.

whiteninja

If it only hurts when you touch it, you got a very mild version.

Lance71

1/20/20 10:20pm

Yes I had them when I was about your age...

CoachSpeak
