Edie Norton went through her first bout of shingles when she was just 28. Now 60, the Herndon, Virginia, technical editor recalled having an itchy rash around her waist for several weeks before seeing a dermatologist. “My doctor took a skin sample of the rash to confirm that I had shingles,” Norton said.
