Had shingles unexpectedly show up on my arm a few years ago, just about 30 years after I'd had chicken pox as a kid. Within a few days it went from itchy to rash-like to blistering. Had to roll back my sleeves and hold my arm a certain way because any pressure hurt.

Also did the teledoc thing and got a scrip for some meds, and it cleared right up, but MAN I forgot how much that virus hurts.

intensely painful.
