I encourage all people who are at a certain age to get the shingles vacine. That is my christmas gift to myself. It is a horrid condition and Ido not want it. So sorry to hear that many here have had to go through this awful condition. It happens with stess, and if you have HAD chicken pox. Most older folks in that catagory should get the shot. I do not have RSD. I can't imagin having the pain of shingles on top of it. I wish you all the best. ginnie
