This is an informative book that explains the shingles virus in layman’s terms to make it very understandable. Shingles is the same virus as chickenpox and if you have ever had chickenpox you are susceptible to shingles. The book has valuable tips on how to ease the pain of the shingles, how to treat this itchy, stingy rash and how to keep it from spreading. Shingles can be extremely dangerous if they are around the eyes, ears, or if you are pregnant. Antiviral medications, steroids, topical lotions, and pain medications will help relieve the pain and discomfort of the shingles until they are gone. There is a live vaccine that can be administered by your family physician as a preventative measure.
