If so, how did it affect you? The doctor was puzzled, saying my rash looked like shingles, but the pain description didn't sound typical. I have jolts of pain rather thanm deep, constant pain. The rash is on my waist. I wonder if T.M. makes things different. My face is quite flushed. After consulting another doctor who confirmed shingles, the first one prescribed medication.
