Shingles sucks ass to say the least. I had it pretty bad about 3 years ago along the backside of my chest. I was lucky though because after researching it some cases actually get it on their face and shit! The pain is no joke either. Feels like someone is holding a lighter to your skin. I'll blame my outbreak on stress. I wasnt working at the time and I wasnt sleeping alot. I brought it on myself for sure. Sucked.
