Nope: Shingles should be only on one side and mostly only occurs once.

Another cause: Shingles can cause fairly dramatic pain which is followed within a few days by a rash. It usually appears in a particular location on one side of the body. The rash burns intensely, itches & is made up blisters that open up & crust over.
