Read about RHS in Health Radar. I had shingles in November 2005. Had what was diagnozed as Wagners, but symptoms didn't really fit. My symptoms were a head cold that didn't go away, trouble with eyes. God powerful pills, told to get off them. My ear drum burst in Feb 09 that led me to be hospitalized with meningits. About a month after I got out of the hospital, my face felt numb. Doctors didn't listen to me about my face. I still have "after shingles" - no rash.
