      had at 20, although it was only shocks and pain a small rash. it did have permanent damage though, but its not severe like a huge rash. numb right where the scars are, and hypersensitive right outside the rash(this was more than 10years ago), and spinal stiffness. i did get phn for a couple years though. (the nerve damage is permanent though,outside of the phn)
