      Oh so am I James :) I went to the docs and ended up having 3 doctors take a look at me but none of them can figure out what is wrong. I got the generic ‘it’s viral’ and some antivirals to calm it down and go back on Friday….so still no answer really! Everything pointed to shingles until i got the rash on my neck.... apparently as it's been on my face, it wouldn't go to below the jaw
