[quote=Anonymous]Had it at 29 at a particular stressful point in time (I am generally not susceptible to stress and didn't even feel emotion ally stressed but looking at it after the fact it was really bad). Caught it super early and got drugs fast so it was quite mild. I woke up feeling like a horse had kicked me in my right side. Even mentioned it to DH because it was so odd, thought I might have to go to the doctor later in the day. I was concerned about a kidney issue. Went to get in the shower and saw the splotches radiating from my spine to one side, lower back. Dr. Google told me flank pain + splotches was shingles. Was at urgent care within 2 hours and the doc didn't even take 2 seconds and knew it was shingles. Started anti virals within another 2 hours and it stopped the spread. The existing splotches took a couple weeks to go away, and thry were tender but not horrible. I actually had international work travel about 3 days late and was fine to travel.[/quote]
