    I hope not.

    The same happened to me just before the first skin rashes appeared above my left eyebrow and left temple. In my case it was trigeminal shingles. My GP initially misdiagnosed it as an earache. And when the rashes appeared a day later, I rushed back to his clinic but his front-desk assistant insisted that I came back 2 days later. By then it was too late, as treatment is most effective if it is initiated within 48 to 72 hours after the first symptoms appear.

    Lesson learned ~ I should have gone to any walk-in clinic or the hospital ER.
