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.

You've heard of it now. It's rare but it happens. I was surprised when she told me. I guess it looked like he was beating it when the worst happened.

They were high school sweethearts; married over 30 years with three adult children. When I first met her she was planning their daughter's wedding and was sad that he couldn't be there. Super lady. We're both Conservative Republicans in Massachusetts. We have some interesting conversations.
