I GOT SHINGLES AT 30 - High Stress Caused Shingles

I stopped watching videos for a month. This happened:    • I Stopped Watching Videos for a Month...  

High stress caused shingles. I was 30 years old and I had shingles. A painful, blistering, debilitating rash wrapping around my torso. People my age weren’t supposed to get shingles. Shingles is a disease for someone twice my age, or so I thought.

______________

Shingles is a viral infection caused by the varicella-zoster virus, VZV for short. VZV is also the same virus that causes chickenpox.

The painful shingles rash can happen anywhere on the body, but it often appears as a band along a dermatome, which is an area of skin that is mainly supplied by a single spinal nerve.

If you’ve ever had the chickenpox, you still have VZV in your body. The virus never completely goes away, but rather lies inactive in the base of nerve tissues in the spinal cord and brain. After many years of lying dormant, the virus can reactivate and cause shingles.

If you’ve had the chicken pox, you can get shingles.

There’s a vaccine for shingles, Zostavax, but you’re not allowed to get the vaccine until you're 50 years old.

And even then, the Center for Disease Control says that protection from the shingles vaccine lasts about 5 years, so adults vaccinated before they are 60 years old might not be protected later in life when the risk for shingles are greatest.

Yet, I would come to find out that shingles in young adults is on the rise. What’s causing the increased incidence of shingles?

Stress. Lots of stress.
