A family member has been going through a bout of shingles for almost a full year. It's brutal. She got it in the forehead and temples just above the eyes - and the pain is excruciating. She's on major painkillers (including morphine) throughout the day that have affected her speech (she stutters). She's developed a sensitivity to light and noise. It's really sidelined her activities, unfortunately.
I wouldn't wish this on anyone.
