Bonny, did you get the Shingles Vaccine?
I've had Shingles twice with no pain. Luckily I knew what it was and ran to a walk-in clinic.
It makes all the difference in the world if you get immediate treatment.
My doctor advised me I could get Shingles a third time, but with the vaccine, it will be less severe.
