And shingles hurt, omg they hurt. I got them 2 years ago in late 40s. It happened on my forehead. All of a sudden, I woke up one morning with this raise patch of skin that anytime anything touched it, it felt like it was on fire and it would get these kind of electric pulses going through it time to time. Went to the clinic that day and was happy that the Dr saw it, said it was Shingles and that I am lucky I came in so fast. They got a treatment now that can limit the outbreak IF you can get to it before 24hr pass from initial outbreak. So medded up and as able to survive the week with it. Friend also got it, didn’t catch it fast and lived with the hell for 3 weeks. Sleeping and rolling over onto the rash would wake you right out of a dead sleep.
