I just put 2 and 2 together and figured out that the fever I had last week and this painful, awful rash is shingles. I have had it before, but this isn't that bad, thank goodness. Actually last time was before National Accreditation also. I guess that speaks to my stress level. Oh well. Life goes on anyway.

Price, you have had a time the last week!! Hope it is a very light case and gets better soon. DH had a bad case about a year ago, he said it was very painful.

I feel for you, I had shingles about 3 years ago on my ribcage. OUCH Stress is a factor in them I completely believe. I got them just after my father in law passed away. Get better soon and try not to scratch or rub at it.

thanks everyone. I think this isn't as bad because I had the vaccine after my first case. I definately think stress has a part in it.

So sorry Price....get it treated right away....if caught early you can usually avoid the bad pain, etc.

Hope the stress lessons soon!!

Hi Price ! This really surprises me because from what Ive read .. U seem to eat an excellent organic garden based diet ... you get tons of sun driving and just gardening n mucking out the barn...

the people I know who have recurring psoriasis-type isues usually have desk-based indoor jobs ... eat a lot of fat and drink lots of vodka to unwind . Of course all this can be reversed with a simple morning jog and cutting nuts and vodka bottles out of the daily diet lol ....

perhaps Ur shingles is allergy based . In any case .. sun and vitamins ( A and D particularly ) really seem to help .. as does cutting out the nuts n cheese .

Shingles is the chicken pox virus that most of us carry if we have had chicken pox as a child. Some folks never get shingles, others it can reoccur in. I guess when my stress level gets too high, my appears again. I usually handle stress pretty well but between work issues, DH's stroke, the holidays, old pony/new pony, eye surgeries and not being able to exercise due to the eye surgeries, I guess that put me over the top again.
