Can confirm.
Wake up to, what I would call, hypersensitivity. Every slight brush against a hair feels like brushing across pins stuck in your skin. Not excessively painful but not comfortable. The next day wake up to some blisters and about the same discomfort level. I dislike taking pain meds so i turn down the doctors prescription and go on my fishing trip. The following day, i'm calling the doctor back and asking for the perscription to be filled at the closest pharmacy and buying the baggiest sweatpants i can find. I was fortunate and do not have any long term pain. A slight numbness in the affected area and mild discomfort but minor compared to what could have happened. If you have had chicken pox you could potentially get shingles. It can happen at any age as well, not just older people.
Moral to the story:
Don't go fishing when you get shingles.
