Poacherspocket 189 Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Iv just had it. Started with migrane in my left eye and felt like i had an ear infaction or something like that. This was a friday night shift at work. The rash didnt come while tuesday afters shift slightly on my forehead and on the wednesday which was my day release to college by 3 o clock i was sent home it was moving into my eye and i looked a right twat. The hospital confirmed wherever the pain starts you develop the rash on average 4 days after the pain starts. The virus stays in your nerve endings and when the rash has gone you can carry on getting pain for months after. You generally get shingles in bands around your body or on one side. I had it in my left eye ear forehead and in my hair . And the headache my grain etc lasted about a month after the rash disapeared. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I had it when I was 30, was not that bad a bit itchy , but did ach on my one side for prob 6 months after it had gone .! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
