Sorry, Kathy. I hope it is not shingles. I don't know whether there is some new epidemic ?? but in this past year there are very frequent public service messages about shingles. No medical professional has asked me about it but I am assuming they must have a shot or a vaccine or something to ward off the problem. GFGmom is the only person I've ever known who had shingles and she got them in high school..under her armpit
no less. She said it was painful but whatever ointment the psychiatrist gave her worked well enough so she didn't miss but one day of school. I'll follow your progress and get educated. DDD
