So this thread is old, but I'm not starting a new one. I got diagnosed with shingles yesterday. I developed a rash a week ago, but ignored it because everything was going on, DS #2 got sick on Sunday, so I had to rush to my parents soon after to help. I finally went to my doc yesterday who looked at it knew it was shingles right away.
If I addressed it sooner, I could have had antivirals. I guess being sick most of the month with a kidney infection, GI issues, various colds, and kids colds plus work and everything else led to a stress induced shingles.

@cascademom: ugh. I feel your pain. I had it in the fall. Luckily, I caught it early enough to get antivirals. Now I'm dealing with occasional PHN from the shingles, which is tolerable but somewhat stressful. I hope you recover quickly!

@lamariniere: Thanks. We've had a crazy month. With a number of illness from me and the kids, I guess my body got so worn down. I cancelled J's speech therapy today to rest. I'm hoping that the pain goes away soon.

@cascademom: my doctor prescribed some heavy duty painkillers that worked wonders compared to ibuprofen, which did nothing. I think my shingles were also stress induced. Ugh. I hope you get some relief soon!
