The painful, blistering shingles rash can disrupt your life for weeks, interfering with family time, sleep, and your work.
See the reality of shingles.
If you think you aren’t at risk because ‘50 is the new 30’…
You don’t know shingles.
No matter how healthy you feel, your immune system weakens with age, putting you at increased risk of shingles if you’re over 50.
More than 99% of people over 50 already have the virus that causes shingles inside them, and it can reactivate at any time.
Not everyone at risk will develop shingles. Shingles is caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox.
Don’t be blind to the facts. See how shingles can disrupt your life.
During a shingles episode, the pain can be severe and interfere with your ability to go about your everyday life. Simple tasks like getting dressed, working, or showering can be difficult with shingles. The pain from the rash can affect your mood, sleep, and enjoyment of life.
What are the potential complications of shingles?
Long-term Nerve Pain
10% to 18% of people who have shingles go on to develop postherpetic neuralgia (PHN), which is a chronic, often debilitating pain that lingers in the area where the rash used to be. The pain can last for months or even years before it goes away.
Vision Problems
In 10% to 25% of cases, shingles affects a nerve near the eye and may cause prolonged pain, and in rare cases, vision loss.
Other Potential Complications
Other less common complications can include scarring, infection, and partial weakness/paralysis of the areas served by affected nerves.
Talk to a doctor or pharmacist about shingles prevention.
