Shingles questions

Started feeling off Friday and got a lot worse Sunday night. Left arm had felt weird/nerve pain/numb on and off in hand all weekend, well since Friday

Sunday night awful nerve pain in left side mid chest. To the point where couldn’t have anything touching skin

I have fibromyalgia but had it five years now and never had symptoms that tally quite with this

Also felt generally off colour, headache but again only on left side

Anyway called GP Monday. She thinks could be shingles but not 100% convinced but started me on anti virals. So by Monday 11pm I’d had four doses and then five doses yesterday

Nerve pain in side lasted all of Monday and then stopped in night. Left arm still feeling a bit odd and numb on and off in hand

I’m generally feeling better, still a bit off and still a bit tingly etc in left arm

Until yesterday no spots or rash but then in afternoon I got one on top of left arm about three cm above armpit. Looks a bit blistered but not sore tbh

This morning there are two smaller spots away from it

Nothing else and I’m not even sure these are related or if I’ve even got shingles 🤔🤔

All a bit weird and any thoughts appreciated
