Answer

Yes. It will follow a nerve. As you must know shingles usually are brought on by stress so it's important you seek out professional help to try and lower your stress level or you could have more attacks of shingles. It is also connected to chicken pox.

Shingles is very painful, but the good news is there is medication that will help the pain and the time period of shingles is not as long. Some people use to have it for a year or more.

Please see your doctor and have him/her explain it all to you and they will give you medications for it.

Good luck Marcy
