Got Shingles - Is My Immune System Not Healthy? Posted: 11-01-07 20:02pm


I am 31 years old and got shingles a few months ago. Should I be concerned about my immune system?

I really don't think so, but ask a doctor to be sure. Shingles is a virus just like herpies simplex (in the same family) and to the best of my knowledge is not caused by an immune system deficiency. Carrie
