I believe it does. After suffering for years with no rash and having all the nerve pain, etc. I finally got the common shingles rash that looks like a band going around the waist. However, right now I have just one single spot on the side of my back mid-section that is driving me crazy itching. I also am experiencing nerve pain.
There seems to be many misconceptions about this virus. First of all it is generally believed that you have to be fifty years or older to get it. I started having symptoms back in my late thirties. Secondly, many doctors believe unless you have the rash you can't have shingles. That is completely untrue. Although, rare, a small segment of shingle patients have nerve pain, fever, swollen lymph nodes and even itching without the physical appearance of the rash.
The lack of the rash makes it extremely difficult to get a diagnosis and subsequently treatment.
There is a shingles vaccine shot available now. It is my understanding that many insurances do not cover it and it is expensive at $200. That said the pain of shingles is unbearable and the $200 would be well worth the cost.
