Signs and Symptoms of Shingles
Before shingles occur, it is likely to experience sensitivity to light or extreme tiredness. Some flu-like symptoms may also occur when the immune system responds to the virus. These include a fever, chills, cough, sore throat, or headache. Skin sensations are also common at the rash area. You would feel burning, itching, tingling, sensitivity to touch, and mild to intense pain. Around 2 weeks after initial symptoms, fluid-filled sacs will show up in clusters or alone. [2]
