I have had my foot in my mouth a lot of times but never shingles.I have wondered why they call them that but it feels like I have splinters in my teeth. The pain is not unbearable but it never stops. I have been hurt worse so I know I will survive. I have my building all put where I want and my son in law tarped it down for me so I will just have to be patient. My kids are good to help me when I need it.
