Shingles Support

Helpful Shingles Online Support Networks

Feb 28, 2007 Jennifer Gerics

For those suffering from shingles and/or those with shingles questions, these websites offer support and answers.

The month of February has been dedicated to shingles awareness. This neurological illness involves the zoster-varicella virus, and it can cause tingling, numbness, burning, and pain. Shingles is treatable, and medications are available to ease symptoms.

Nevertheless, having a neurological illness can sometimes feel isolating. It's especially hard when symptoms are unusual and hard to convey. People with shingles need the support of other people going through this experience. The following are shingles support and information websites for those who need answers and someone to listen:
