Hi everyone guess what happened to me i got shingles thought i had pulled my muscle at work was so painful around the neck. Next day brought deep heat and placed it around my shoulder developed a rash me in my infinite wisdom thought oh dear must be allergic to deep heat made a Dr appointment because the pain was BAD and he said you have shingles steroids have lowered your immune system.

Sorry to hear you have shingles. Hope you start to feel better soon. cx
Poor you! I know it can be painful, my Nephew had them on the backside, not nice! Hope the next fortnight off work will fix it for you 
huff xxx
I am really sorry to hear that. I have never had it myself but had a friend who did. She said it was incredibly painful and was off work for a while with it. I really hope you are feeling better soon. Take care x
If you caught it on time, shingles can be not too bad. I got it in 2011 over the August Bank Holiday weeekend. Lot of burning pain, which I thought was the start of an exacerbation, then about 4 or 5 red patches. Started lyrica and another med immediately and it didn't spread any further. The pain was quite severe but compared to other tales of shingles I've heard I think I got off lightly. Hope you get off lightly too.
poor you,i had shingles in January,its awful take care x
Shingles is a very nasty thing I had them many years ago, in my throat , ear and behind the eye, really painful and poorly in hospital for 2 weeks, has left very painful nerve pains . As it was hard to detect where they were and what was the matter, so can appear anywhere in the body, which was a shock to me, thought they were only on your torso 😘
