What Is Shingles?
Presented by New Wave Home Care
Thursday, October 17 at 10:00 a.m.
Shingles is a viral infection that causes a painful rash. Although shingles can occur anywhere on your body, it most often appears as a single stripe of blisters that wraps around either the left or the right side of your torso. Shingles is caused by the varicella-zoster virus—the same virus that causes chickenpox. One out of every three people 60 years and older who get shingles will have severe pain. Come to this informative lecture to learn what can be done to reduce your risk and the long-term pain it can cause.
