So sorry this happened to you.

I had shingles for the first time at 9, then again at around 23, then a couple of years ago.

I was lucky in a way, it's always been on my main trunk. At 9 it was on my back, 23 on my chest and a couple of years ago on my back again.

I don't know why they think its elderly disease because I was told once you've had chicken pox you're always at risk & stress can bring it on.
