> Having had shingles, I don’t believe it is all that serious. She must have something else, in addition to shingles.

Many years ago I lost a much beloved Aunt to shingles. She was in her 50's, and it destroyed her.

Granted, treatments have come a long way since then. But DiFi is 89. It's entirely possible she'll die from shingles, regardless of any other maladies.

Shingles is no joke
