@lorimar89 What a relief it must be to have a diagnosis. Were you prescribed anything for the pain? I'm glad to hear that they are monitoring the path and taking care about your eye.

Here's some information about shingles in case you'd like to read more. http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/shingles/basics/definition/con-20019574

Let us know how your appointment goes on Tuesday.

I'm tagging @scohen0 on this discussion thread. He writes about having a second bout of shingles in his left eye in this discussion thread https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/im-dealing-with-my-second-bout-with-shingles-in-my-left-eye/ Maybe he would have something to add to this discussion.

They gave me percocet. I also AM taking ibuprofen. It's much better today. Getting a jump on it quickly was key! Again, I go back to the doctor on Tuesday so they can take a look at the progression or lack thereof.
