How Shingles Affects the Elderly, and What to Watch For
As we journey through life, our bodies face numerous health challenges, one of which is shingles, or herpes zoster. This condition, emerging from the shadows of the varicella-zoster virus - the same culprit behind childhood chickenpox, often finds its way to us in our later years. It's a poignant reminder of our body's changing defenses; as we grow older, our immune system gradually loses its vigor, paving the way for this dormant virus to reawaken.
