Matthew Rehwoldt Reveals He Has Been Diagnosed With Shingles

TNA iMPACT color-commentator Matthew Rehwoldt has been diagnosed with shingles.

The former wrestler turned commentator surfaced on social media on Wednesday with some unfortunate news regarding his health.

“Vulnerable post: So it turns out that a 36 Iโ€™ve developed a case of shingles,” he wrote. “Yes itโ€™s a condition thatโ€™s typically seen in older or elderly people, but has been seen to crop up in younger people more and more lately. Itโ€™s a variation on the same virus as the chickenpox, and even though these patches of rash are small, they cause lightning sharp pain at various times throughout the day. I canโ€™t go to the gym. I canโ€™t sleep comfortably . Thankfully, with the help of some doctors that should clear up in the next week.”

Rehwoldt continued, “Iโ€™ve been told that stress can be a key factor in bringing this on, so Iโ€™m posting this as a reminder of the importance of taking time for self-care and treating your body and your mind, rightโ€ฆ physical manifestations will happen if you neglect that. Wellness and balance is key – and even though I thought I was feeling pretty good my body has kept me in check clearly! This is just to say take care of yourself and when stress is really high, please donโ€™t be afraid to seek help!”
