Thanks everyone for all the kind words and encouragement on this and the ketamine. You guys are the best!

With 3 people having seen it now I am pretty comfortable with the shingles diagnosis. Thankfully it is being treated properly. Crummy thing is you can get it again and the nerves are predisposed once they have it just like cold sores. The good news is it is not that bad a breakout. The rash area is limited to just the top of my foot and the rash is NOT the severity of the lovely ads we see on TV for shingles vaccines. I would've gone in for that! My CRPS nerve is aggravated but the rash is less prominent there. Sometimes people don't get the rash at all, just the pain!

I was told today even babies can get this . That is too sad. So definitely can strike at any age.
