Think i may have shingles !!

[HazG]

last week i felt really unwell flu like symptoms,glands up aching etc then i had a burning feeling down my one side, then sat morning got up to about 8 itchy spots just on the waist line just left of my belly button !
very sore and i feel like my skin is very sensitive to touch :weep:
i have an appointment with the Dr in the morning but i am worried he will think i wasting his time as the spots are only in that one place and only about 8/9 of them ?

You don't usually get many spots with shingles so it does sound like it could be. You are doing the right thing going to see your doctor as the sooner you can take the medication the better as it stops the symptoms getting worse. Calomile lotion is good for soothing the skin.
