Shingles (otherwise known as Herpes Zoster) is a painful, blistering rash caused by the chickenpox (varicella) virus, which affects only a limited area of skin, and makes you feel surprisingly tired, run down, and even depressed.

	You may feel slightly unwell, and develop a localised area of pain and tenderness a few days or sometimes up to two weeks before the rash appears.
	The rash starts off as red spots, which quickly turn into blisters. They always affect only one side of the body (left or right) and never cross the midline.
	It is usually a very painful rash, and typically people can't bear clothes touching the affected area.
