How Long Does It Take To Get Over Shingles?
Hello, I've recently gotten the shingles and would like to know how long it takes to get over them?
It has been about six weeks since i got it and I still have fatigue, headaches, pinch nerve in my leg (it goes knumb sometimes), dizziness, vertigo, ringing in my ears, sometimes i have impaired vision.
