My experience with chicken pox mirrors yours - they were everywhere. I’m approaching middle age (or there, depending on who you ask (👉ﾟヮﾟ)👉), and I’m hoping it doesn’t happen to me. But I know it’s just hanging out there in my spine… waiting.
Brought about by stress … I was going through a fairly stressful time with work, travelling to a new place and trying to make ends meet. Keep a good diet, exercise, eat healthy, sleep well and keep the stress down … if you mess any of those up, you’re increasing chances of that infection just creeping up. Like others have said, it’s probably best to just get the shingles vaccine.
Get that shingles vaccine asap. My Dad is the most stoic person I know when it comes to sickness and he literally CALLED ME ON THE PHONE howling about how bad it hurt. Don’t be my Dad, y’all.

Get the vaccine when you can. Because you’re right, and depending which nerve path it chooses it can be bad or it can be worse

Shingles can get in your eyes and cause you to go blind, too.
