Mild symptoms. Nerve pain under my arm. 5 lesions with raised redness. Pain 5/10. Chilling. Drinking a 12 pack to be comfortable

Alcohol could make it worse. Very inflammatory.

Are you vaxxed? (Covid)

Hearing that increases outbreaks.

My vaxxed brother had shingles a couple of weeks ago.

Had that shite on my face. Got the antiviral and stopped it in its tracks. Left a manly scar above my eye.

I got shingles despite never having chicken pox.

At least I never had symptomatic chicken pox.

Not possible. Shingles happens only after you’ve had chicken pox

Better just bite it and go get some Valtrex. Spreading under the arm/other will eventually lead to you drinking a handle of Taaka.

We were seeing a big spike in shingles during COVID before the vaccines came out

Seems there’s been a trend of younger people getting shingles the the past 10 years or so. Good luck with it OP.

Symptoms are mild so far. Start on antiviral in am. And Norco for pain control

No, but thanks for the reminder.
I’m no fan of vaccines, but I’ve been meaning to get this one.

Had it on my face. Antiviral and cream cleared it up. It was painful.

The sooner you start the antiviral the less your chance of developing long term post herpetic neuralgia (nerve pain)

You don’t want that
