Most cases of shingles last 3 to 5 weeks. 1  The first sign is often burning or tingling pain; sometimes, it includes numbness or itching on one side of the body.  Somewhere between 1 and 5 days after the tingling or burning feeling on the skin, a red rash will appear.
Of those cases, about half occur in people 60 years of age or older. Shingles occur in 2 stages. The early stage of shingles -- called the prodromal stage -- begins 3 to 4 days before the rash appears. Early symptoms resemble those of the common cold, including headache, nausea, general achiness, abdominal pain, fatigue, fever and chills. As shingles progresses, more severe symptoms begin to develop. The next stage of shingles is called the eruptive stage. Pain is usually the first symptom.
