I got treatment very early in the course of it. I suspect that most people don't seek treatment until it starts to hurt, but as soon as I felt a faint odd sensation I went to the doctor, because it was so completely different from anything I'd ever felt before. If I remember right, I did have some pain later, but nothing like what a lot of people describe. Anyway, if Senator Feinstein is having a severe case, that's reason to hope that she finds respite soon, one way or the other. I had shingles about twenty years ago, but I had an unusually mild case.

I strongly recommend that anyone who can gets the vaccination. This won't guarantee that you never contract shingles, but will reduce the severity if you do. As another California voter, I also hope Feinstein is persuaded to resign quickly. She really should have stood down before her last election, come to that.

Haven't had it but I've been thinking lately that it might be a good idea to get the vaccine. As for Feinstein, why hasn't she stepped down already. Doesn't she understand the problems she is causing for Dems in the Senate?? First off, shingles scares the bejesus out of me.
