OK, now I'm getting plumb worried!!
KNOX! WHERE ARE YOU!?!?! REPORT MISTER! FRONT AND CENTER NOW!!! Gosh darn it guy! You're freaking me out here!
Karen, shingles are a later life aftermath of having experienced chicken pox as a child. They are a miserable affliction at best and can be life threatening at worst. Take it seriously, sweetie!
There is a vaccine for Shingles, but I don't know if it is effective if taken after you've had an outbreak. Your doctor will be better able to answer that for you. S/he also should have given you something for the itch. Did they? My uncle suffers severe outbreaks from time to time. Miserable crap! Hope you find relief very soon!
