I started felling some weird feeling in my lower back on friday 31/8 or earlier..
Then I noticed a strange rash on my back with bumps.
At first, after doing some research, I thought it was bed bugs.
After going to the doctor on 3/9 I found out I got shingles.
Yesterday I got blood tested and got put on antiviral drug and I also bought calamine lotion.
The shingles is quite painful.
Feels like a burning, stinging pain.
There is a blisters filled with fluid.
It is on my back in a band and a bit on the stomach.
It is all on the right side.
If I don't take the painkiller, the pain is really bad.
Note: Lucky I went to the doctor, who then made the correct diagnosis.
The virus is a dormant chickenpox virus that becomes reactivated due to low immunity or some unknown reason.
Prior to take, I did have a gum ache and also didn't get enough sleep.
I need to sleep at 12am-12:30am..
