I had this about 4 years ago. It just looked like 2 spider bites on my back but I can say without question it was the most painful thing I've had.

It felt like an electrical shock and throb like crazy. Like, I had to leave work it was so bad. Doc said more and more and younger and younger people are getting it now.

After meds it was gone in like 2 days tho.

Mine stretched from the side of my torso under my arm around the front of my body to the middle of my chest. It looked like a bunch of blisters from a chemical burn IMO.

Lots of learning going on ITT. When somebody searches SHINGLES on the net, I hope they find this thread.

Possibly AIDS as well, but not 100% about that.

Everybody is born with shingles dormant inside of their body and it is triggered by a spider bite or a sufficiently sick bass line.

I'm pretty sure it is related to excessive masturbation.

You guys know these bad boys come when you're under excessive stress, right? I got them once and it was when I was bartending. It was on my right side and every movement I made with my right arm was like a knife being stuck in my side. Workout and think nice thoughts and you should be in the cleaar.
