If u cant stand on the disgusting pictures just ignore this post :)
I am suffering from shingles more than a week :((
But I am much more better now :)
Chinese called it as ' sang she ' so called ' the snake born '
Shingles (herpes zoster) is a painful,
blistering skin rash due to the varicella-zoster virus,
the virus that causes chickenpox.
I wonder why I will get this kind of virus in a sudden ..
It's painful and itchy !
At first , it will appear something like this on your skin
It's at my right side front and back part only.
I tot it's bitten by some insects .
But my parents told me it happened as I eat too much of fried food during cny
Thus , they only ask me drink more water and bath often .
Besides , merely apply salve .
After a few days ,
It become WORST !
Pain and itchy .
You can't even sleep well.
That day , I am at my cousin house
My aunt saw and she told me it might be shingles
OHMYGAWDD
As what I know.
If you don't cure it on time , you will die !
So , I quickly get the information from web
Shingles is most common in
older adults and people
who have weak immune systems because of
stress, injury,
certain medicines, or other reasons.
* HAHA ! I am still young ehy ! *
After you get
better from chickenpox,
the virus "sleeps" (is dormant) in your nerve roots.
In
some people, it stays dormant forever.
You can't catch shingles from someone else who has
shingles.
But there is a small chance that a person
with a shingles rash can spread the virus to another
person
who hasn't had chickenpox and
who hasn't gotten the chickenpox
vaccine.
Early signs of shingles include burning or shooting pain and tingling or
itching,
usually on one side of the body or face.
*no wonder it just appear on my right side*
The pain can be mild
to severe.
Blisters then form and last from one to 14 days.
If shingles
appears on your face, it may affect your vision or hearing.
The pain of
shingles may last for weeks,
months or even years after the blisters
have healed.
My uncle told me this plant can heal my shingles
Chinese call it as ' 蛇草' snake grass
I don't know what's the exact English name for this plant
This is the fruit of the plant
Pluck it
Crumble it
And apply it on my skin .
Few times each day after I bathed .
I feel pricking
Besides,
My mum act like a nurse :)
Cut a few pieces of cloth and get some tape
To help me wrap the wound
Change the medicine after a few hours .
That's how it grow .
Few days later ,
The rash becomes vesicular,
forming small blisters filled with a serous exudate.
The painful vesicles
eventually become
cloudy or darkened as they fill with blood,
crust over
within seven to ten days
The crusts fall off and the skin
heals .
Just like the SNAKE !!
Super disgusting .
I HATE IT
The last picture is the latest one.
I think the skin heal .
* hope so *
Other than applying snake grass,
I take medicine too
Get it from pharmacy
NAMED - Acyclovir 400 Stada
Four time daily for five days
Every 4 hours once .
This is A.K.A an antiviral drug.
This drug helps reduce pain, prevent
complications,
and shorten the course of the disease.
The
medications should be started within 72 hours of
when you first
feel pain or burning.
It is best to start taking them before the
blisters appear.
Further more ,
Cool wet compresses can be used to reduce pain.
Soothing baths and
lotions may help to relieve itching and discomfort.
Keep the skin clean.
Do not reuse contaminated items.
That's what I want to share out with u all :)
Last but not least ,
A small request .
Can u help me to click the nuffnag ads above ?
Thank you so much :)
