What is Shingles?

Hi,Its the reactivation of the chicken pox virus.

So if your family member had the pox years ago, it can sometimes come back in the form of shingles.

A family member just got diagnosed with Shingles and he was so surprised by the diagnosis that he did not ask all the questions of what it really is and what it means for him.. Please give us any of your explanations and what it may have meant for you or someone you know so that I can pass this along?

Thanks a mil!
