When I was about 15 I got shingles and never got the chicken pox until I was 17... Is that normal? I've been reading about shingles and it says that if you do get the shingles, you're supposed to get them after chicken pox... Is that normal? Oh another thing.. This is different. Sometimes I get a pain in my chest and it feels like something is poking out or stabbing outwards from the inside and when I feel that its really painful.. Is that normal?
