Jay, if it's shingles, you'd have the little blisters at the temple and into your hairline first; it doesn't start in the eye. In fact, my eye didn't actually feel bad, even after they saw shingles in it at my second visit. I used some kind of steroid drops in the eye and acyclovir (sp?) and something for pain by mouth.

I am seeing the doctor or the urgent care clinic tomorrow. I don't think
it's shingles but instead either an eye infection or possibly a scratch on
the cornea. I can't see anything in it, and the eye isn't red, but it's
watering like crazy and hurts pretty badly. As for the shingles shot, if
the doc won't, I guess the pharmacy will. I sure as hell don't want *those*
again!
