Ouch! I've got Shingles
It started the other day with a small itch on my back and thought nothing of it. I looked the day after and i had a cluster of spots, today the cluster has spread i have them under my arm too. I went to the Doctors this morning and i have to take 5 Aciclovir tablets through the course of the day and for 7 days. I do hope it's not as bad as my Mother had as hers was on her head she was in terrible agony with it. My pain is just beginning, i can feel it twinging
Has anyone on here had it before?

Re: Ouch! I've got Shingles
My husband (the fittest healthiest man in the world!) had it a few years ago and was shocked at the effect it had on him. It really laid him low. Be kind to yourself; do as little as possible and sleep as much as possible.He was fine once the thing had run its course and has not had any lasting problems, He took Acyclovir.
I hope you'll be fine but please take care of yourself
