Shingles!

[Kate]

I hate asking, lol, but have any of you ever had Shingles on your face? Or at all? Do you need a shot to keep it from coming back? How long does it take, for the sore nerves to go away?

I had shingles below my breast when I was in 9th grade. IT WAS PAINFUL! I couldn't wear a bra because it kept rubbing against the shingles. It lasted for about 3 weeks. It felt like someone was stabbing me constantly. I didn't take any kind of medication. I just let it run it's course and I haven't got them again.

Ok, it took three weeks for them to heal up! I didn't know what they were, until they were almost gone though! If I lean on my chin, which is where they were, it is still a little sore! I'm just hoping that will be the end of them.
