    OH MY LORDY! Don't worry Omni jan...it's not as bad as you think...

    This usually happens to the elderly, but it sometimes occurs in young people too. It's an infection caused by some sort of virus. Only happens to people who have had Chickenpox already! You can't spread shingles, but if someone who's around you hasn't had chicken pox yet, you can give them chicken pox. Usually, no medication is needed because it'll go away by itself, but if you need creams for the rash (which may sometimes be EXTREMELY painful), then your Dr. should be able to prescribe something.

    I had chicken pox when I was 17 and my Dr. thought it was shingles because SUPPOSEDLY my mom remembered me having chicken pox!! UHHH HUH..It was chicken pox! My best friend had shingles and it left little tiny scar-like bumps on her.

    Just don't go around anyone who hasn't had chickenpox!

    Get well soon!!!!!!!!!!!

            I didn't even know what shingles were.

            In any event, I'm glad that it doesn't seem to be that bad of an illness, and I sure hope you get over it soon.

              Your immune system will destroy it in due time. For now you must suffer.

                I've suffered enough for a lifetime already but oh well I guess I'm used to it by now so what can you do. Whatever happens, happens.

                  Yea don't worry, just think of those people who are far worse than you right now and think how much better you are off to have the shingles. It'll pass with some torture.
