Joining me now is family physician Dr. Christine palmay great to have you in studio. >> Thank you for having me. >> Kelsey: what causes shingles. >> Shingles is the reemergence of a dormant chicken pox virus. When your immune system is challenged. Because of psychological stress or physiological stress. It reemerges as a painful rash. >> Kelsey: the signs ask symptoms of shingles. What should you be looking out for? >> There are some diseases. Everybody has seen or heard of a shingles episode. It's a rash. It means there's are little bubbles. Follows very distinct lines. Well deep mar kated. Typically people have it on their sides, on their face, on their back. 7 to 10 days before, there's a bit of warning. People have intense burning back pain. It is often missed. It isn't until that rash emerged that we understand it's a shingles episode. That acute phase is horrible. Nobody wants that rash. People have symptoms for up to 3 weeks. They feel sucker punched. Exhausted. 100% unpleasant. The misunderstanding is we don't talk about prevention. Nobody wants that. But there are longer term complications. People can have complex shingles, too. >> Kelsey: shingles can impact younger people as well. >> It's all about perspective. Officially at 50, which isn't considered old anymore. Everybody should be having discussion about the shingles vaccine. We now from emerging evidence that adults under 50. 18 and above who have another risk factor. Perhaps this he have a chronic disease. They are transplant patients. I am going to include other more common diseases like asthma and diabetes. Those challenge your immune system and put you at increased risk. Health canada has updated guidelines and we are not just using a set of criteria based on age. Yes, at 50. Talk about a shingles vaccine. If you are at 18 and above. Younger than 50 and you have a risk factor, you should speak to your family doctor about a risk. >> I appreciate it's not the sexiest topic I got to talk shingles.
what can people do to prevent shingles. >> Taking care of your health and make sure your immune system is supported. That's common sense. The best form of medicine is preventive care. We have vaccines now that are available. The shingles vaccine is called shin rex. It's two doses. You get two doses within a 6-month time period. The efficacy data is robust. We have long-term data. Efficacy as patients age as well. Especially emerging from covid. Where we only have the chance to be reactive. We are trying to vaccinate ourselves out of the pandemic. Switch the discussion and talk about being proactive. >> Kelsey: there are longer term effects of shingles. What do we need to know about the risk factors and what can come after we get shingles. >> It's the most complicated is a chronic pain condition it can last over 90 days and for some patients, it's a long-term issue. I see patients have to leave work and it robs people's quality of life. There are shingles that can affect the eye and cause nerve damage. And stroke. >> Kelsey: thanks so much for being here.
