I was experiencing horrible back pain and spasms for a week. it wasn't until I realized that I had a rash, too, that I realized must be shingles. I'm 34 now, and I had shingles twice before, but it was NEVER like this. I finished the medication last week, but since then I've noticed the tingling sensation return and i feel uncomfortable in my own body. there is pain now in my hip. the place where the rash was has started itching, but there is also numbness so it feels sometimes like I can't scratch the itch.
I'm horribly anxious that it could be flaring up again. at the same time, these seem like common symptoms that people can experience long term. i am also really scared of that. it just want my body to go back to normal. I'm terrified it never will.
I appreciate anyone sharing if they had a similar experience and they recovered. I need hope that it's possible.
thank you
