    I got shingles in my eye, forehead, and scalp.

    It. Was. Agony.

    Luckily I didn’t lose vision in the eye, but it did swell shut for a day or so. Overall the pain lasted about 10 days and the red itchy blisters about a month.

    I advise everyone to get the vaccine.

      It is ABSOLUTE agony. Painful on the degree that birth is. My friend says her dad has broken a million bones and had cancer, and still says shingles is the worst pain he’s felt.
