Thanks, All. We're making the appointment today! Yeah. I once heard shingles decribed as feeling like you're being boiled then deep fried afterwards.shiver! Mom had it near her right eye. They thought she would go blind if it traveled there. She always had the scar. Oddest thing how she got it. Dad got Chickenpox at age 66 after a bout of pneumonia. Not pretty! .Mom stressed over his care. Either one gave her shingles.
