One of my friends had that. It's like a ring around your chest.

 

a friend of mine who had a heart transplant had it... suposedly its pretty damn painful, he was on morphine i think...

 

Apparently so.

 

my cousin had that before...I still make fun of her for having herpes.

 

there r different forms of herpes viruses. shingles are not mouth cold sores or genital sores. its the chicken pox virus reactivated. when i worked in a drs office when i was in school, we had people come in with shingles. its contagious. they got it from their computer key boards and mice. they shared them. had a ups pilot come in with it too. u can get it in your eyes also. pretty nasty. makes u want to douse your work area daily before u use it. u see shingles mostly in people that r older say 60s. weak immune system is a trigger. u can get shingles more then 1x. my aunt was a surgical rn and she got shingles a few times. u will see it on the face as it travels up the facial nerve on the nose and into the eye. u will see it more commonly on the back as it travels the spinal nerve and comes around the side of the chest. very painful. i hope u recover quickly and permanently.

 

She sure is itching and a burning today.

How rude.
