Finally got through the shingles about 2mo. ago. The rash was in the middle part of my back and the pain is horrible. You are so tired all the time its hard to do anything. I had back surgery in 07 and I can only equal the pain in my back before surgery with shingles. They can return too. The shot from what I understand is pretty expensive. You have to have it before you actually break out. I never knew there was a shot for it. I thought it was just a rash and probably itched alot. Shingles can be very dangerous and like I said the pain is horrible. Hope thats not what you have. |
