dgman Posted May 30, 2020 Report Posted May 30, 2020 I hope it clears up fast for you Marg. I had shingles from my left eyebrow to the top of my head about five years ago. The lesions went away after a few weeks but the pain is still with me today. meflick, wombatie and John B 1 2 Quote
kmmcrafts Posted May 30, 2020 Report Posted May 30, 2020 Wife had it on the scalp and forehead creept to her eye a few years back.. She went in and got a shot.. they told her if it ever comes back again she needs to get the shot asap because it could get to her eye and loose her sight.. Hoping you get better soon.. wombatie 1 Quote
meflick Posted May 30, 2020 Report Posted May 30, 2020 Oh no Marge! I have felt your pain - at least the pain from shingles! "Fortunately" mine was on my torso and caught early and the medicine helped but it still hurt and itched - just not as long as it can. My mother had it on her head, scalp, face and as others have noted, it is a big concern there if it gets into the eye. We had to take her regularly to the eye dr. often for a period of time to make sure about the eye. Fortunately it did not cause a problem with her eye. I pray for you to heal quickly and that it stays away from your eye. Please see the Dr. if you haven't. wombatie 1 Quote

nickp Posted June 5, 2020 Report Posted June 5, 2020 So sorry to hear...had them from middle of back to middle of chest along the ribs...didn't know they were shingles...thought it was a bunch of bug bites as I walked through tall grass to get to fishing spot...after a looooong time I saw doctor and he gave me some medicine (Lyrica, I think)...too late... Headache doesn't help either...rest, relax, get medical attention...get rid of that "mean-ness" quick as you can... Feel better soon... wombatie 1 Quote

Take care Thanks John. Yes the rash is starting to fade and the headaches aren't quite so bad today and only have one intense pain today were I would have had 4 or 5 by now. Hoping that by next week I should be back to normal, (whatever that is ). Marg John B and meflick 2 Quote
