Did they give you antivirals? Motrin helped with the pain from mine. Also ice packs!

Lol.

The pain isn't terrible, I'm lucky, it could be a lot worse. And I did get an antiviral.

I had shingles a couple years ago that I thought was poison ivy at first too. Not fun! I hope you don't have a severe case of it. If you didn't get some cream, ask your Dr for the strong stuff, it helps with the itching. Ice packs too!

It's a shit deal that our generation missed out on the chicken pox vax.

I hope you feel better soon.

I am 32 and got a chicken pox vaccine at 16. Imagine my surprise when at 22 what I thought were chigger bites turned out to be chicken pox.

OP I hope you feel better soon.
