It appears my wife (Australian, 49) may be suffering from shingles. So this was an apt time for this article to appear.

She's seen her Dr and swabs are being processed. She's on antivirals and painkillers and has a nasty fever.

Now I am horrified about how awful it can be, after reading all the comments in here.
