Our paper about the lived experience of shingles is out. We found that for some people, linking it with 'low mood' or poor mental health was stigmatising, and resulted in shame and self-blame. Generally people don't know how debilitating shingles can be until they experience it.

Many patients’ understanding of #shingles before diagnosis is poor & they were unprepared for symptoms, new study published in @BJGPJournal finds.
Health care professionals highlighting stress as a trigger led some people to blame themselves for onset.

"Death is as natural a process as birth, yet much of society refuses to see it that way."
@Lucy_Selman looks at how this discomfort is intertwined with cultural and systemic issues, from harmful misconceptions about grief to the medicalisation of dying
