Shingles is caused by the chicken pox virus that lays dormant in your body after you have chicken pox as a child. Extreme stress or a suppressed immune system can cause the virus to ‘reactivate’ and you get Shingles.Contributor: Robin BratinaPublished: Feb 09, 2012

Chicken Pox that comes back ?
i had chicken pox 5 times as a kid and the doctor said it was because i never had a really huge breakout like most kids do.
