Default Shingles and MS link?

There was a unique study done in China awhile back about this. It was on the Reuters news service. Search "Shingles + MS + China" . I found it very interesting because I had shingles before I was Dx'd with MS.

I had weird little symptoms for years after that, that I know now are MS symptoms.


I had shingles again earlier this year.
