On a serious note, I was laid up for about 3 weeks and it took about 6 weeks for the rash to clear up, the only lasting affect is itching where I had it on my right nipple.

I feel right silly now.  I mistook that for flirting when we went for a drink the other week

When I went for a drink with him, he seemed to be scratching somewhere else.

Don't flatter yourselves.

Aye it’s shite , I had it at the APF a few years back and had to medicate with alcohol quite early which in hindsight probably didn’t make it any better ! , you can still feel nerve endings burning at times years later... horrible !

i get a lot of nerve burning feelings all across my back from time to time....never associated it with shingles but perhaps thats what it is

Had shingles a long time ago.19 at the time. Started with a severe pain in my left upper ribcage. Felt like I was being stabbed every time I coughed. Then, blisters appeared, not in left ribcage, but on lower right kidney area.

That or Simona needs to file her nails a bit.

Yes, it is. But my daughter had it when she was only 14  or 15.

Is it not the chicken pox virus ?
