" Question I have been off work for two weeks. I feel tired, nervy and cold all the time.  Some days I feel fine and at other times I can be in a lot of pain with no energy.  I have a family and I need to get back to work.   Answer The recovery time from shingles varies enormously. It is most frequently like flu &amp;amp;#8211; so you would expect two to three weeks of feeling unwell.  However, some people go on to have a much slower recovery than that.  The tiredness and general feelings of being unwell will most likely be gone within four weeks; and at most six weeks.  It is possible for pain in the area to continue to be a problem for much longer.  Yours sincerely The NetDoctor Medical Team   Other Qs &amp;amp; As How do you catch shingles?
