Suffering from Shingles?
Posted on: June 4, 2019
Shingles is caused by the varicella-zoster virus — the same virus that causes chickenpox. After you've had chickenpox, the virus lies inactive in nerve tissue near your spinal cord and brain. Years later, the virus may reactivate as shingles.
While it isn't a life-threatening condition, shingles can be very painful. Early treatment can help shorten a shingles infection and lessen the chance of complications.
