Hi has anyone had shingles before I’ve had them four times now the last time was last November but this time it’s left all the side of my face numb will I get the feeling back it’s still painful too 🤗

I've had ringing in my ears or in my head for year. I thought it was just one more problem to deal with but now I'm wondering if there's a connection.

Guys I have Fibro but recently its gone to my face, like tingling and a weird sensation in my jaw and some slight nerve shooting pains plus watery mouth, does anyone else have this? I am going to see my doctor again next week and ask him for a MRI, I am quite scared of it to be honest. Thank you for reading.
