When I was in high school, one of my lawn-mowing customers was a local barber who came down with shingles on his legs. He was out of work for quite some time because, obviously, he just couldn't stand. I remember he showed me his legs and told me how painful it was. When I got older and saw they had a vaccine for it, I ran to my doctor to get it. I wouldn't wish that on anyone. I hope you feel better soon.
