Oh my gosh! Did anyone else get it? Have you had it before? My father got shingles Sept 1st across his face and he was in so much pain, he had Cataract Surgery a few weeks prior and got it from there. It was so painful and he looked so raw. It stills hurts him to this day. I am very sorry this happened to you! It was my mother's nightmare since she was affraid that my Dad had it early enough to give it to the entire bridal party etc. Luckily no one else got it and it cleared up somewhat. But I still felt so bad for him he was so embarrased by it, he looked like a monster up until the week of the wedding and wore some makeup that day.. (which was funny since my dad is in his 60's and definetly is a man's man.. lol)
but if you look at the pic below he looked pretty damm good for a man in pain who was trying not to cry and in pain when he did.

Our wedding day was the best day of our lives. The only thing that I regret is that I stressed myself out so much in the weeks prior to the wedding that I actually got sick.

Could not have said this better myself....
I was so worried about being responsible for 78 people being in Italy for MY wedding that I made myself sick...literally sick. I got the shingles from stress (no joke)

Luckily it takes time to incubate, so I didn't get the rash (on my lower back) until the 2nd to last day of my honeymoon, but the plane ride home was no fun.....lemme tell ya!

If I could do it all over again, the only thing I would change is my stress level!

I had had it before....just once and in the same place (my lower back). It was so painful...and I mean excruciating!!!!!
I am a total worrier and I internalize everything and my Dr. said that is how I got it...stress....ugh!
Luckily it isn't contagious to people who have had the chicken pox (most everyone) and no one (that I know of) caught it b/c of me :)

It was awful though and the 8+ hour plane ride home was so HORRIBLE!!!!!

Oh yeah, I forget I have a family of freaks. I think we all have some super gene or something and my mom, brother, myself, cousins.. etc all have never had the chicken poxs so we were pretty worried! Glad your feeling better!

Edited to add, we also found out from Dh's Grandmother that his Grandad had it on his crown jewels once (I can't even imagine how bad that must have felt)... so when my Dad heard that story he felt better.. lol
