...it's shingles. So far it seems to be confined to my right arm, and I'm grateful for that....

i also had shingles several years ago. Mine were on half of my scalp, then down the nose close to the eye. Since it causes nerve irritation, the symptom was a headache. Shingles often occurs in people whos immune system is not working well. In my case, I was suffering from a bad case of endometriosis and had been running a low grade temp for several weeks, so my body was run down from this. I knew nothing of the plant based diet at the time, so went on anti viral medications and pain meds for a while. It took about 3 months for the headaches to go away, and even then not completely...I still have headaches on the affected side, but they occur only rarely now.
