Shingles, schmingles

I have a case of shingles AGAIN.  This time it’s on the left side of my head and face, affecting my eye.  I’m on 500 mg of Famvir, three times a day. As my doctor said, it will get worse before it gets better. These pictures don’t really quite do it justice. 

What is shingles? There’s a really good explanation of shingles here on Wikipedia.

    Oh Beth, I am SO so so sorry! I know it’s painful because both of my parents have had shingles. My mother had them twice, as I recall. Super bummer! Thinking of you in Italy,
