Shingles Support Group
Herpes zoster, colloquially known as shingles, is the reactivation of varicella zoster virus, leading to a crop of painful blisters over the area of a dermatome. It occurs very rarely in children and adults, but its incidence is high in the elderly (over 60), as well as in any age group of immunocompromised patients.

I hope you stop by here and read this. I didn't read this till today. I have been where you are. I prayed so hard and still do. Mom will be 91 this month. There is hope even for the worst cases. It will pass in time.
Take care
