Virtually nobody gets that. I've known of one person in my 45 years. On the other hand my wife has had Chicken Pox several times. Each time the doctor says "well it couldn't have been Chicken Pox the previous time". Well, eventually the doctor decided that for some reason my wife's immune system just didn't work too well with Chicken Pox. It's never been serious though and she doesn't have any other significant health issues. You can have shingles as it's a kind of return of chickenpox. I had it at 12. My GP is now bombarding me with texts to give me a shingles vaccination, but I don't see how that is going to work, or why it's necessary. They are also sending me loads of texts about pneumococcus vaccinations and blood pressure tests. No doubt they'll be starting on 'flu vaccinations in the coming months. I suppose sending texts automatically is a cheap and easy thing to do. Your odds of getting Shingles is 1 in 3. The vaccine is a weakened strain of the virus which stimulates the immune system but does not cause disease. Shingles is pretty nasty, you really don't want it. Those texts are for your own good. I don't want a machine doing things "for my own good". I tried to set up an appointment for a blood pressure test - it would have been the second in my lifetime - but they cancelled it without explanation or followup. It's just an automated system, and they've closed the surgery near where I live. I don't know anyone who has had shingles apart from myself. I did (it was pretty unpleasant), as did a number of people I know but of course you don't know any of us. Mmm. I'm unclear of the motivation of that kind of remark - and the one about blood pressure from 'Paul'. It's clearly not genuine concern - more like the way that insurance companies try to frighten people to buy their "product". Currently I don't have /any/ insurance, apart from a couple of things which are /technically/ insurance but don't have any genuine insurance element. Some people just like to talk about their illnesses. Agreed. The only insurance I have is the minimum third party insurance on my car, as required by law. You're a brave man if you don't insure your house! ;-) What would I be insuring it against? |
