It's the same virus Bobbie. You can't get shingles unless you have had chicken pox at some time in your life. The virus lies dormant after chicken pox and can rear it's ugly head at any time to give you shingles.

Oh dear Barb. I have had it a couple of times, it was caught very early fortunately and I didn't suffer much. Hope he gets better soon. How's Lottie?
