My hairdresser’s husband had shingles that spread to his brain and killed him. Poor guy was only 58.
I’ve never heard of a fatality from shingles to the brain but I have heard of blindness from shingles spreading into the eye itself. Having had it on my left forehead spreading down into my eyebrow and up as well as out into my hairline, I can say it’s excruciatingly painful, like it was drilling down into my brain. I can’t imagine having it in the brain itself. No idea how a rash can hurt so much.
>> shingles that spread to his brain
Really? That takes a lot of nerve.
