Im sorry to hear of your problem. As you noted, shingles is a very unpleasant experience. When I had it, I found that a cloth dipped in cold water helped.
Once I recovered, I went for a shingles vaccination. My insurance didnt cover it it. I got the vaccination anyway.
One more thing. If you have it near the eyes, see an ophthalmologist ASAP.
Yep
I almost lost my eyesight in the left eye...
re the vac: its a two shot vaccine nowadays....
