at the age of 3 to 37 I never got the measles. But alas I woke up with extreme headaches and pains going from left to right over and over again. Then I noticed what appeared to be a bite on the left side of my spine. So I tried to treat it and control the pains. The only pain reliever that worked sorta of was Advil. After two weeks pain I finally went to the ER.

The doctor took one look at my my back and said you have the shingles. I told him "but I never had the measles" and he replied "yes you have".

That said with the recent advocating against shots for children and many refusing COVID shots and refuse to wear masks or doing anything to protect themselves and their love ones by some people is not helpful.
