Yes, Advil should be fine. Have you taken it before with no issues? I see Mrs. D snuck in there! When in doubt, call a doctor.

Rashes tend to spread before they recede. Silly but common.

It's not fun having Shingles. Mine was showing signs of spreading to my right eye, too. Thankfully, the drugs kicked in within a couple of days!

Your doctor is only a phone call away. The fact that you are immunosuppressed should make you keep an eye on any progression. Write it all down if you can. Track your temp, too.

My temp spiked up over 102 F (not sure what that is Celsius). That prompted the ER visit, plus the really bad headache and dizziness. They wanted to do a lumbar puncture on me, but I wouldn't let them!

It's a good thing you're asking questions! You received great care, so that's good.
