Worried about this rash

I’m not feeling well with a flu type virus nd then realised my side was sore. Really sore so I took a photo and this is what is there. Could it be shingles?

Does it follow a pattern? I had spots going from my chest to the back of my neck.

Mine is all down one side of my body. I’m feeling a bit better today. Just left with a rattling chest and tiredness. My son has insisted it’s hayfever. But if that’s the case I wouldn’t be getting better without antihistamines. Also I had ear ache a high temperature headache as well as the sore throat and blocked sinus and rash. So I don’t think it’s hayfever. He says he is everything is hayfever

I had something similar and was told it could have been vaccine modified measles...

Omg. I hope not. I get the flu vaccine every year and this is the first time I have had anything that’s floored me. Literally to such an extent I don’t have the energy to bath or care that the virgin media engineer had to endure me with scarecrow hair in my nightie.

My DD saw me this morning and took a photo of my face as it was so swollen. I made her delete it but if I didn’t feel bad before I did when I saw that photo
