I recently got shingles, which seems to be related to stress. The varicella virus lives inside your body and expresses itself as shingles. One thing I did that helped was to take an anti-viral medication which my doc gave me. Zostrix-HP is also supposed to help relieve the itching and pain. It is available without a prescription at your local drugstore. Good Luck.
