Some of the guys that I work with are younger than me, early twenites. I was hanging out with some of them, and they had their girlfriends with them. The one kid says to his girlfriend, "Guess how old he is."
At first, I was annoyed and embarassed that he was pointing out my age. Then she guessed 23, and I gave her a high five.
There is no cure for shingles, but treatment may help you get well sooner and prevent other problems. Call your doctor as soon as you think you may have shingles. The sooner you start treatment, the better it works. Treatment may include:
~Antiviral medicines, sometimes given with steroid medicines, to help you get well sooner and feel less pain. Medicines to help long-term pain. These include antidepressants, pain medicines, and skin creams. ~Good home care can help you feel better faster. Take care of any skin sores, and keep them clean. Take your medicines as directed. And use over-the-counter pain medicines to relieve pain.
Avoid contact with people until the rash heals. While you have shingles, you can spread chickenpox to people who have never had chickenpox. Be extra careful to avoid people with weak immune systems and pregnant women and babies who have never had chickenpox.
It is not necessarily the same as anyone elses. Physical reality is very much a manifestation of our perception. That is to say that we each create our own reality.
It is a paradox that are not separate from the world in this form until we awaken, and that we literally create the world around us. That is to say that, it's not the case that the world around us already existed, and we were just born into it; but rather that the world around is is an enormus energy field, and we are smaller energy distinctions appearing about it and then waning, like sun spots on The Sun.
So in an enteral moment of right now that incessantly flows without form, we are each distinct and unique expressions of The Sun (an allegory for the Universe). We exist, and when our moment has past or life is the backdrop for those who are now creating.
We must learn to accept, that every other individual is in the process of creating thier own reality. Merely tolerating others is a futile exercise. Tolerence is not the same as acceptance. Tolerating perpetuates, the distinction between "them", and "me". In reality, there is no distinction we are each sunspots, equally Sun in every moment that we consciously decide to recognize that fact. Through aceptance, we realize that their creation does not necessarily interfere with yours, because your perception can be whatever you decide it should be and that's that.....
Everything else becomes "So What!"
When we awaken to the knowledge that we have that power, then there less need to physically fight against reality, because we now fight with spiritual weapons, and in the physical world, we just roll with the flow, and shine as absolutely glorius as will. Let the other sunspots be what the are, and we are free to be as shining and bright as we will.

If you look at it from a certain angle, you can hardly notice it.
