I was asking my Husband not too long ago if it was possible that
maybe I could have shingles inside my head. I know that this sounds
ridiculous. He laughed and said only I would grab at something like that.
I was really serious about it. I am not qualified to really expound but it seems
to me it could be quite possible. If you really think about viruses and how they can
lay dorment for long periods of time and then show up under stress(herpes simplexes) etc.
I was exposed to chicken pox viruses and shingle viruses (possibly the one in the same) when
I was a nurses aid at a nursing home when I was 16. My first CH happened when I
was 23. Shingles and the definition of how they feel sounds just like the pain only inside your head.
I wish I could better explain what I mean but it would really be
something to look into further.
