Has anyone else ever been diagnosed with internal shingles ? This is another in the long list of crazy painful illnesses I’ve gotten since my fibro diagnoses. For Gods sake, I feel like a horse that should be put down. I’m in so much freakin pain ---

Holy cow, seriously??? I sometimes think that our creator must have had a sick sense of humor to come up with some of these things. I've never, ever heard of internal shingles but I'll bet they hurt like mad! At any rate, I Googled them and here's a site about them: [http://72.30.186.176/search/srpcache?ei=UTF-8&p=internal+shingl...](http://72.30.186.176/search/srpcache?ei=UTF-8&p=internal+shingles&fr=moz35&u=http://cc.bingj.com/cache.aspx?q=internal+shingles&d=4620458088006274&mkt=en-US&setlang=en-US&w=KOluSP_6_5k1JB_29IPlLtcctBtYwS8D&icp=1&.intl=us&sig=sn.yNsrvQCvU3dX56uo3GA--) Here's a discussion on the matter from fellow sufferers: [http://72.30.186.176/search/srpcache?ei=UTF-8&p=internal+shingl...](http://72.30.186.176/search/srpcache?ei=UTF-8&p=internal+shingles&fr=moz35&u=http://cc.bingj.com/cache.aspx?q=internal+shingles&d=4970197276689254&mkt=en-US&setlang=en-US&w=AOGFLOMjBcTULytzq7_g8GQb5lV6i8fI&icp=1&.intl=us&sig=BtubbXR35Ne4Wdrs1wyXUg--) ---

Ughhhh yeah that’s them ears, nose, throat, tongue down the throat, running high fever. On insane dosage of Zovirax 5 times a day making me sicker. And if fever doesn’t let up going to the hospital so they can treat me like a freak. Thanks fibro, and Happy Mothers Day to me ☹ ---

This is a new one for me...never heard of that before. So...the first thing I did was ask my good friend Google and this is what I found [http://www.livestrong.com/article/27808-signs-symptoms-internal-shingles/](http://www.livestrong.com/article/27808-signs-symptoms-internal-shingles/). How did they even diagnose this on you? ---

My doctor luckily specializes in fibro freaks etc we are kinda her passion. So seeing the ulcer on my tounge and looking further, knowing my history of shingles. Present stress level etc. she made diagnosis as gruesome as it is. I passed step test and all other blood work confirmed. This sucks
