I have had shingles since mid July. I had no idea what this strange rash was never thought shingles and didn't go to the Dr until 2 weeks later. Well I have suffered but not only the pain of the rash but also felt so tired, no energy, and felt sick actually. I think I am now getting over it.
The pain of the rash was relieved by crushing two aspirin dissolving in 2 tbsp rubbing alcohol and apply to the lesions. The aspirin relieve the pain and teh rubbing alcohol helped cool down the rash.
Sure would not want to go through this again. |
