Question: What is shingles like?
i just found out today i got shingles and im 19 its a small rash so far on my back and slowly spreading around my side to front of my chest. skin hurts alot and i can barley move my harm and walk straight. never had it before but ive had it for two days so far. im just curious even tho i have Tylenol and anti viral med for it is the rash going to get bigger? and what do you think it will be like being that im 19 because the doctor said most people my age don't normally get it until they are older.

VERY VERY ITCHY!!!! a hot bath does the job. Its also very painful and a very contagious rash. So stay home and get some rest and also drink plenty of fluids. Switch between tyonel and ibprofen to help relieve the pain.
