Currently it's been 3-4 days since i've realised that i might have shingles, the pain i experience is mostly due to a headache, and not the shingles on my face... however, it could be that i have shingles on my head...

My eye lid has swollen a little, making me feel a little odd. Other than the headache, shingles are quite bearable... unless it gets worse in the days to come.. Below is a picture of what it looks like.. for those faint hearted, please dun look...
