Faunsdale, AL | Shingles is the result of a Herpes virus (Herpes varicella- zoster) that you never got rid of after you had chicken pox. Your immune system usually keeps it bottled up, but as you age , it can fail and the virus reactivates and causes shingles or inflammation along nerves in your body.
Vaccination is the best way to keep your immune system active against the virus as you age.
