Its uncommon, in otherwise healthy individual. buts its common in the elderly, people who are immunocompromised, from Hiv or autoimmune diseases, they can get up to 3 or more. Thier shingles are also more severe and widespread as well. did you get them twice?

No, I got them once and don't want them again. They say they should only last about 4 to 5 weeks, mine lasted for 2 months.

I was 30 when I got them. It was a very stressful time in my life, I guess my immune system was compomised. It started with blisters that lasted well into it. I had blisters up until the end.

I'm curious as to why you are asking if you can get them twice. Did you think you were getting them again?
I've read in medical literature that it's "rare" to get it more than once, but I've known a lot of people who have had eruptions after the first episode, so I take that info with a grain of salt. |

sometimes the blisters can affect the whole dermatome, all the way from the specific dorsal root ganglia it reactivated in. you see the classice belt around the waste. I had mines at 20yo, i was defintely stressed from school. Mine was only 10 lesions orginally it was fused from more blisters. but the effects of it was that it affected the whole dermatome, and i was left was permanent scars(same shape and size of the original blisters), numbness, and hypersensitivity on the area of skin. People with low immune responses can get repated attacks, but it still uncommon though. its not even understood why they reactivate in some and not others. with the related HSV1 and 2, they reactivate quite regurlarly
