I've been told that someone could contract CP. And it is best to avoid people with a shingles outbreak even though the shingles virus is a slightly different virus that is carried by CP. And planted/deposited on the nerves in your body. Hence the outbreak of shingles later in life.

Zostavax shingles vaccine
I got the Zostavax vaccine five years ago after my mother and sister both had shingles outbreaks. Two months after receiving the shot I woke up one morning completely deaf in my left ear. Found out hearing loss is a possible side effect of the vaccine and am now part of a class action suit against the manufacturer. Do your research before getting Zostavax-the new vaccine Shingrix is supposedly much safer.

I've even got the dam blisters under some of my finger nails. At least I'm thankful only my right hand and forearm are affected...so far anyway. Another sleepless night even with the pain meds.

I had it about 10 years ago, dr said it was the worse case he had ever seen. It was on the back of my neck and wrapped around to my face. Got in my ear and effected my equilibrium so my wife had to help me crawl to the restroom. It also caused Bell’s palsy, right side of my mouth wouldn’t work. I was off work for 6 weeks!! Still to this day have nerve damage on back of my neck.

I don't remember much pain, just being terrified because it was so hard to breathe.
Thought I was going to suffocate.

I feel for you brother. Tens of thousands of others just like you unfortunately.
I hope you come out smelling like a rose in your legal battle
