Hi .. I developed shingles a few weeks ago - after my self diagnosis of a plague attack of mozzie bites proved wrong. They were in a line from the left breast, under the arm and on my back which is apparently characteristic of shingles appearing along a nerve. Fortunately, they no longer ache and the marks have just about disappeared. I'm also metastatic. It seems we're more vulnerable to some infections etc due to low immunity. This week's special annoyance is conjunctivitis! Take care of yourself - this disease is a particularly trying marathon.
