[Sophie Rees @drsophierees]

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.

A happy new year and a warm welcome to @StokesleyHealth who have just been given the green light! 🟢 Great to have you supporting @AthenaStudy ! 🙌
