Actually, for my case ... it has been showing some early signs but human behavior always discard any sign if it is not serious. My backache for the past months ...
So in the morning of yesterday, my back was aching and itching with an infected area of what it seems like pimples, sprouting out of nowhere. The only difference, you feel some kinda pain as if it was an open wound being strained. Ever put your open wound under cold running water ... yeah, something like that. Being all disgusting and shit, I am going to upload a picture just for you guys to take precaution if any family members, friends or yourself "choi-choi-choi-touch-wood" gets it.
Kindly take the following warnings, directed from both the pharmicist and doctor :
- Never ever touch the infected area and touch other parts of your body, highly contagious - unless you want to be some mutant with different skin texture
- Do not share clothes, washing machine, towels and etc ... with your family members or house mates - unless you want them to be that mutant with different skin texture
- Avoid seafood ... extremely itchy
- Avoid physical contact of infected area with any human - unless you want to take revegence on that person, rub your shingles on his clothes.
- Avoid washing area with ANY form of medicated soap, shampoo, body wash - unless adviseable from doctor
- After applying medication, bandage the infected area ... avoid physical contact with anything as much as possible
- Try sleeping in an aircond room at night, you might sweat a lil due to pain and even after medication, it kinda hurts a lil
- Prepare about RM200 or more, consultation and meds to treat these nasty virus are expensive siao!
- Do no panic and try not to think so much about the itchiness and so ... its like chicken pox
- See a doctor at your soonest, the thing spreads very quicky .... see wikipedia link below to see damages that it can do in just days
For more info ... kindly visit Wikipedia on Herpes Zoster or google the subject ...
