I got it during the 2000 election, scalp and left side of face, horrible.
During the election? Could the stress of the Sore-Loserman chad-count and subsequent court circus have been a contributing factor?
My wife has it now. She said that it was worse than childbirth & she’s had 6 kids!
Got it starting Thanksgiving 2015 but on right side of face, scalp, jawbone, etc. I lost 25% hearing in right ear from nerve damage.
Shingles lasted 3 weeks. Post-herpetic neuralgia immediately followed shingles, and lasted for nearly 2 years. Still feel it occasionally at night, but it’s bearable.
I thought shingles were bad. Nothing compared to PHN. Combined they’re the Devil’s Disease.
I got them on my lower left back a few years ago, ditto on horrible. Can you get them more than once?
