My relationship status has nothing to do with what I am feeling right now. I had chickenpox before when I was young and now it reactivates. As they say that once you have gotten a chickenpox therefore you will get "SHINGLES"?.
But, not everyone who's had chickenpox will develop shingles.
Shingles is a viral infection that cause by varicella-zoster virus — the same virus that causes chickenpox. After the virus lies inactive in nerve tissue near your spinal cord and brain. Years later, the virus may reactivate as shingles.
🎶Shingle bells shingle bells shingle all the way 🎶
I wanna make it more funnier and lighter because it is painful. The feeling that you want to scratch it because it is too itchy and yet you feel a tingling sensations. You will notice before a tiny red rashes but then it becomes a blister and pops up like a popcorn.
Some people also experience, fever, headache,
sensitivity to light and fatigue. And good thing is I never getting any of that to mention.
The shingles rash develops as a stripe of blisters that wraps around either the left or right side of my torso or waistline. Others experiencing it on the face, underarms and neck.
Is it Contagious?
A person with shingles can pass the varicella-zoster virus to anyone who isn't immune to chickenpox. This usually occurs through direct contact with the open sores of the shingles rash. Once infected, the person will develop chickenpox, however, not shingles.
Chickenpox can be dangerous for some people. Until your shingles blisters scab over, you are contagious and should avoid physical contact with anyone who hasn't yet had chickenpox or the chickenpox vaccine, especially people with weakened immune systems, pregnant women and newborns.
