Thanks for asking, Chris. Umm mostly I'm confused. The Dr. said that by tonight it should be very obvious, but it's not. One tiny bump has turned into a blister, but the rest have kind of faded, and the pain has subsided a bunch also. So I still don't know what to think...meanwhile I'm staying away from my sister in law (and best friend) because she is pregnant, just to be on the safe side. I haven't started the meds yet because I'm not convinced that it IS shingles...it might just be a coincidence of a regular rash in the area that shingles occur. Thanks everybody for the warm thoughts!
