lucky you, you have Valtrex!

When I had shingles, I didnt know what it was, and it was on the side of my chest, in an area that I didnt want people to see, so I never went to the doctor for it. It really hurt, because my bra strap when over it and irritated it. Still have the scars from it. (I also had mono and strep at around the same time. I was an unhappy camper that winter)

It was only years later that I saw pictures of shingles and went..."hey...that looks/sounds familiar!"

Hope you recover quick!
