People beware of shingles.
I recently found a rash on my right kidney region, which quickly turned into a blistered wound. Strangely enough I had no serious amount of pain. As the healing began, so did the discomfort.
The discomfort is more of an annoyance, as it is n the form of itchiness akin to rubbing fibreglass insulation batts over my skin. Nothing severe, just randomly irritating.
The randomness of when the itchiness is going to strike is the major frustration.

I have been lucky in getting what I deem a mild case.

I don't know much about this, I have only known 1 person with this and the only thing that helped was acupuncture, are you getting medical treatment Krak?

Sandra, I saw a skin specialist about 5 or 6 days after it started, and he stated I was through the worst part of it and had to let it run its course. If there was any problems, come back and see him.
But being the archetypal meathead male, I am in the school of tough it out. So far, I am not losing any sleep over it, literally. And life goes on.
I've heard some horror stories about shingles, a few first hand, but most anecdotal, and I know how lucky I am.
