Perhaps the most common element associated with shingles symptoms is pain. The condition is one that is brought on by a virus, the same virus strand that brings chicken pox to small children (though much more serious in adults.)

This is not necessarily true because shingles can hide in your nerves, deep into tissue and stay dormant throughout much of your life before reactivating in the form of shingles. For many people, this simply does not happen and although the virus is there, it never reactivates. What's more, if you have never had chicken pox before, you too can be susceptible to shingles. This is due in part to the fact that the chicken pox virus was likely exposed to you, at a young age, but no symptoms were present then. Years later, it can reactivate. |
