From missing a child’s graduation, to being unable to walk your daughter down the aisle, to sitting out the season’s big game—the pain, fatigue, and complications from shingles can take you away from the moments that matter most.
We’re looking to hear from people across Canada who’ve experienced shingles and want to help others understand just how disruptive and debilitating it can be. When did it hit? What did it keep you from? How did it affect your relationships, your community, your everyday life?
If you have a story to share, we want to hear it. Tell us how shingles impacted a milestone, event, or connection in your life — and help raise awareness so others can understand the true toll this condition can take.
Email us at info@healthing.ca with your name and contact information to share your story, and a member of our editorial team will reach out.
