The answer of course is, "it depends". Usually the fatigue will reduce and then disappear as the breakout does, much like it does with that other viral infection you have already experienced, the flu. In a minority of cases however, the fatigue may last for weeks or even months.
Yes! Often times, however, it is your body's immune system being run down FIRST that allows the virus to emerge from its dormant stage and then present itself. Shingles is an opportunistic virus that rears its ugly head when you're already feeling like crap!! I just had shingles in Dec 07. It appeard on my left forehead and followed the cranial nerve. It itched REALLY bad. Surprisingly, there are many areas on your body to get shingles, but they usually follow a nerve route.
severe exhaustion was the first symptom for me along with uncharacteristic lowering of mood. For example I could not walk to the village, less than 1/4 of a mile away without having to rest halfway as my legs felt so weak. On return I fell onto the bed exhausted. Same thing after showering. I feel everything is a struggle. I thought I was still not well from having pneumonia 2 months ago and am relieved to have a diagnosis now, that explains my feeling of exhaustion.
