Yipes! The skin on my side has been hurting really bad for a few days, and tonight I broke out into a rash. I just did some research on the internet and I'm pretty sure that it's shingles. I'm gonna call the Dr. tomorrow to confirm, but all the websites are so nasty & I'm really scared to be in pain for 6 weeks. Has anybody ever had the shingles?? Please tell me that all these websites are over blown. They all sound so scary!!!!!! Aaagggggh!!!!
