Early 30s friend of mine is a school nurse. She bent the knee and got all of her shots like a good little sheep. She is on the road to recovery from Bells Palsy and now 3/4 of her face is a shingles breakout. It sucks too cause if I mention the obvious correlation with shitty booster and her ailments, she will just get pissed at me 😑
that is strange since shingles is normally confined to the trigeminal nerve on one side only, generally just one of the three branches of the trigeminal nerve and stops at the midline. This would be a highly unusual case if truly shingles (occurring both right and left nerves and most or all branches of same). But with the jabs I suppose anything is possible. I would think such a reaction may include shingles elsewhere on the body. Bell's palsy is the facial nerve (motor) and shingles on the face is the trigeminal nerve (sensory). Interesting. How did they determine it was shingles since it didn't have the classic presentation?

just a question, was the Bell's Palsy and the shingles breakout on the same side of the face? or opposite sides?
Bells was on one side and unfortunately the shingles was pretty much covering the majority of her face 😞

Let me clarify. It's covering like 2/3 of her face mainly from the same side she is dealing with the palsy.
