I didn't think I have ever had singles, but I am beginning to think differently. My sister developed a case of them in April, she was and still is in pain from them..on the 5th of this month I broke out in 3 tiny blisters, grouped together. I thought something had bite me..it was a burn hurt type pain, but very tolerable..would not go away, so after 2 weeks, because seemed to flare up again, I went to doctor, he thought it was shingles, but since I didn't have horrible pain.,..he doesn't know?? I think it is shingles..places are close to my spine on buttocks..

    Patty that is how mine are. I get little clusters, but mine have terrible pain. I can tell when I am getting them because of the pain that starts a week to two ahead of time. My leg from my hips to my foot are in pain. I have had them with little pain,but not often. I also feel extremely tired and get flu like symptoms. Achy and chills or hot flashes. Hope all goes well with you. Jmac

      They may last a month or longer, my area looks bruised and bumpy until all gone. Sometimes it takes the bruising a really long time to go away. Pray it gets better for Jmac
