How the hell do you get shingles?
I got it like last week and I have no idea how.

Shingles is caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox. After you have chickenpox, the Herpes strain stays in your body. If you ever have a period where you're immune system is weakened, or if you're just an unlucky bastard it will come back out as shingles.

Enjoy.

Typically from running on hard surfaces too much when you're just starting to work out.

I did.
For the first 3 days I couldn't sleep cause of the pain.
After that it was just the stabs of pain and the urge to itch it.
I've still got the blister type things, any idea how long they last for?

Oh man, I had that this winter...
I saw some sort of wierd rash on my ass and I went to the doctor. Apparently I had shingles and he gave me some medicine (the cost was like 140 for 42 pills - although I'm Canadian so Health coverage!). Didn't feel much pain other than the occasional itch on my ass.

I can't remember the exact name, but my pills were something like aciclovor?
Something like that.
5 Pills a day.
for 7 days.
Every 4 hours.
800mg too.
Luckily the pills have a pretty neutral taste.
