I so feel for your daughter Shingles is so painful, have suffered them myself...doctor told me that people usually catch shingles after having chicken pox and their immune system is low.

Poor child.  I know it is extremely painful and continues to be so for a while after.  The chicken pox virus usually attacks older people and those who do not build an immunity to it by having a heavy does of chicken pox when young. Too bad your daughter is going through this. I wish you the best for a quick recovery.

I am a professional shingles sufferer. lol I'm one of the lucky few who's body can't build up an immunity to the illness. (yeah) I've had it 4 times and had chickenpox 6 times so I'm pretty familiar with the itching, pain and deep in your bones ache which comes with it.

Shingles is caused by the reactivation of the virus which causes chickenpox. Usually quite a few years after the initial chickenpox illness.

The illness is characterized by a chickenpox-like rash on a small area of skin, usually on one side of the body.

Pain and tingling associated with the rash may persist for weeks or months after the rash has cleared.

The virus can be spread by direct contact with the skin rash of infected people. This causes chickenpox in people who are not immune.

Shingles develops more commonly in people who are immunosuppressed. (e.g. people with Type 1 Diabetes like me)

I hope she gets better real soon. Shingles are no fun at all.
