I got Shingles around age 30 which is pretty uncommon. I was really lucky, it presented as rash on my upper back, more on one side than the other. I did not know what it was and I had no pain or itching. One day I got a mild fever out of nowhere. The fever went away pretty quickly and it wasn't until a few days later when the blisters started popping that I felt horrible pain but that was only for the better part of half a day. The rash completely healed and I have no remaining issues from it that I'm aware of. I'm so fortunate I had a mild case and I would hate to get it when I am older. My doctor said it's unlikely to reoccur now before I get the vaccine at 50, thank goodness.
