I had shingles about 15 years ago, pretty mild case and this is the second time and it's bad. The back of my leg is covered. This is so painful! Dr started me on anti-viral meds but since this started on Friday I may not have started the meds soon enough. I think you're suppose to start within 72 hours of the breakout.
I know this is a beauty board but needed to whine a bit.

My sympathies to you. I do not have shingles but one of friends who is not a whiner had them for SIX WEEKS on her torso and she complained about the constant pain and discomfort. I hope you fine some relief !

So sorry. I remember when my mom got shingles and it took so long for doctor to diagnose.
I didn't know you could get it again.

Sorry you are suffering, my husband and I got the shingles vaccine and I'm so glad we did.

I know it's awful, but the chances that you will recover unscathed are very good. I took the anti-viral a bit late, too, but I still credit them with my reasonably mild case.
When you're all better, which will be soon, you might talk to your doctor about getting the vaccine. I did after my bout.

I have known several people who have had shingles and I know it's BAD. I'm planning to get the vaccine next month the next time I see my doctor for routine stuff. I checked with my new insurance and I'm 100% covered. Very glad!
So sorry you're going through it. Whine away if it helps ;-(
