Feeling Like I’Ve Got Shingles Again
44 Answers
The pain is incredible and localised at the bottom left side of my head, the area is sore to touch and feels itchy, I had shingles along my right collarbone about 4 years ago and remembered how the pain could wake me up, it feels exactly like that so here I am at silly o clock having a cup of coffee and taking paracetamol hoping to quell the pain, last time I had this I was prescribed Amitriptyline but hated taking them so if I sound I’m feeling sorry for myself, I am, getting it once is bad but getting it twice !!
I’m at my GPs later this morning but that’s just to see a nurse practitioner for a yearly MOT, Bloods done etc, I’m 73 and don’t take any meds at all and enjoy good health but this is really getting me down

No, not contagious as there’s no rash, the only way it can be passed on would be via fluid ,for example if there was a rash and it was in blister form and was ‘weeping’ then someone touched it, I’d assume then they could pick up the virus that way, I’d imagine there’s no rash because it’s actually in my hair whereas last time it was on my skin
