This map of shipping routes illustrates the relative density of commercial shipping in the world's oceans. Freight transport is the physical process of transporting commodities and merchandise goods and cargo. The term shipping originally referred to transport by sea, but is extended in American English to refer to transport by land or air as well. Logistics, a term borrowed from the military environment, is also fashionably used in the same sense.
Especially if you have never had an outbreak of shingles, it can be very difficult to identify the pain as coming from an attack of shingles. Depending on the location of the involved nerve, the pain may be mistaken for a headache, appendicitis, heart attack or angina, sciatica, abdominal pain, or other conditions.
Early symptoms can start several days before the more obvious symptoms of shingles. The most common early symptom is a feeling of numbness, itching, tingling or a burning pain centered in one part of the body or face. Often, this occurs in the abdominal area. The pain can worsen as the case of shingles develops. For some, the pain can be sharp, stabbing, and intense. It may cause hypersensitivity.
