Hey guys, pay attention to the shingles warnings. There are many ways the disease displays itself. In my case (last year), I noticed I lost some hearing ability in my left ear one morning. The next day I had sores on the left side of my and head (including my scalp). The sensitivity was incredible; couldn't even comb my hair for a week. The thing is, I lost 20% of my hearing ability in my left ear permanently. Doctors were worried it could migrate to my eyes and cause blindness. I took anti-viral meds and prednisone for inflammation; I got through it in a couple of weeks, but, as I said, still the hearing I lost is gone for good. DON'T TAKE CHANCES. Get your vaccine shots. You never know...
