Shingles is the re-emergence of a latent chicken pox virus .
means that sometime in the past, you had chicken pox, and the virus lays dormant in your body forever. Anyone who has had chicken pox can develop shingles.
My dad was about your age when he developed it when he was under extreme stress when my mom had cancer and was really suffering from the pain.
Many people now are getting shingles after getting the covid vax.
There is a vax out there supposedly preventing you from getting shingles that is being pushed on TV and by doctors, but it also comes with many side effects, so many are not getting the shingles vax.
There is a prescription you can get to help some.
But it lasted several painful weeks for my dad.
The best thing you can do is get lots of rest because you are under stress and your body needs its.
I think Ivermectin is good to since it treats viruses, like covid.
