So I told you I have unfortunately broken out in Shingles....A chicken pox virus.
Funnily enough if you have never had Chicken Pox you cant get Shingles. But if you get Shingles like I have because I had chickenpox as a child, you can give it to someone who will develop Chicken pox not Shingles.
So after I started having shooting pains on my left side for about a week, my skin got tingly and sore and very hot, I then developed the rash starting at the spine and finishing at about my left boob, I started to feel ill. High fever, sweating, and abdominal pain, nausea and just wanted to curl up and die.
I then took myself off to the doc. She gave me pain tablets that had something to do with the AIDS prevention and another pill to do with a nervous condition, To help with pain and let me sleep easier.
Weeks are passing and I've swallowed a mountain of pain tablets, rubbed on creams etc. The pain was so bad I phoned my Doc who was back from somewhere, and he immediately sent the pharmacy a script for
much stronger tables. The gave me a whole box full. They are now getting low and the other night I thought I was dying. When you are thinking of waking up your husband and wanting to get to a hospital, that's the feeling.
So I decided to go and see my doc today as I have looked up my symptoms on Doctor Google. Apparently I have all the symptoms of Enteric Herpes-Zoster. Internal Shingles virus. Now I now why my left side felt numb for a few days. The virus attacked my stomach muscles and cause a false hernia by causing a lump on that side.
I honestly thought I had a hernia and couldn't figure out how I would have got one.
Let's see what my doc is going to do about it. The Google Doctor says it will go away in a few months....Or the virus could travel via my spine to my head and give me Bell's Palsy and other nasty stuff.
