"Shingles, symptoms, and treatment, caused by the Herpes Zoster virus. It is a neurological disease that affects the nervous system. It increases with sensitivity and pain in the broad band on one side of the body. It is normally within one to three days after the pain there will be a rash with red bumps with blisters and pus that will form in an area that is extremely painful. After two to three weeks the rash may disappear. The person may be treated with antiviral medications, pain medications especially also because of the pain that's involved. Corto-steroids are also used to decrease the swelling and the redness of those areas. I have normally seen it in patients that have had long term chronic other disorders and their immune system is already compromised and they many times especially I have seen patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with emphysema especially that have developed shingles because of their compromise of their immune system and so it's a very painful disorder that is treatable but there is no cure for it."
