When the nerve endings start to regrow, it feels like an army of ants is crawling around under the skin. That feeling lasted for at least a couple of months.
Sorry for your hubby. Definitely, get your shingles shot.

I, too, had shingles on face and scalp and was close to going in my right eye - horrible, horrible, horrible.....I thought I was going out of my mind (what's left anyway) It's that "post-herpetic neuralgia" that is so bad...and I'm told that the "shingles vaccine" doesn't keep you from getting another case of shingles, just lessens the severity of the "phn". So sorry that you're husband is experiencing this.
