They are not sure what causes MS. The shingle/chicken pox virus is in anyone who has chicken poxs. Once you have chicken poxes your body produces antibodies, but for some reason a lot of people's bodies do not produce it, therefore, they get shines. Before you get the shinges shot has your doctor do blood work to see if you have the anit-bodies already in your body.

I looked it up, it's a common infection completely unrelated to M.S.
