Although I usually considered myself healthy, I experienced shingles.
Although I am now fully recovered, the shingles symptoms I experienced at that time were so painful that I really do not want to go through them again.
I would like to share the symptoms of shingles I experienced and the recovery process.
As everyone knows~
The first symptom of shingles is blistering.
Around dinner time when I was leaving work, my back started to itch, and upon checking, I found small, rough patches of spots.
At first, I wondered what this was. I just thought it was because of the itch, so I scratched vigorously;; I didn't think much of it.
The next day, the itching worsened, so I checked.
At that time, I never imagined it would be shingles...
I thought it was just a simple rash I had before.
The second symptom of shingles is that I initially thought it was just simple muscle pain, but eventually I got body aches.
Looking back, I think I experienced some chills, body aches, and indigestion-like discomfort starting 2-3 days before the blisters appeared, which was different from my usual condition.
Initially, I felt a strange, tingling pain in my right side.
I thought it was just muscle soreness from overexertion, but the pain that feels like electric shocks gradually worsened.
From this point on, I realized it wasn't just a simple flu, and I decided that I should go to the hospital as soon as it gets light.
The third symptom of shingles is finally(?) having a fever...
At first, I had a fever and thought it might be COVID-19, but when I woke up, I developed shingles.
As soon as it got light, I went to the hospital and was immediately diagnosed with shingles.
I was surprised to find out that I contracted shingles, even though I am usually physically healthy and lead a regular lifestyle..!
The reason I suddenly got sick despite being fine was probably because I had a lot of overtime at that time, couldn't sleep well, lost my appetite, and didn't eat properly.
The only fortunate thing is that the golden time for shingles is within three days after onset.
Since then, it has become very difficult to receive treatment when visiting the hospital.
In the early stages, shingles symptoms are similar to skin rashes, so many people miss the initial treatment.
I rapidly developed symptoms in just two and a half days, but fortunately I went to the hospital within the golden time.
Herpes zoster is widespread on her back, but only scattered in the chest, sides, and inner arms, so she was told that applying medication would soon make it better.
However, the pain was truly overwhelming while taking the medication! It was the worst pain I have ever experienced!
The intense nerve pain I felt every time the blistered area was touched was really the hardest part.
Having experienced it firsthand, I can say that being young does not mean shingles symptoms will pass lightly.
The doctor said that shingles happen because the immune system is weakened, so you should rest well, eat well, exercise, and manage your health properly to keep your immunity strong.
Otherwise, they repeatedly emphasized that shingles can recur even after complete recovery.
After taking the medication and applying the ointment for about three weeks, I was fully healed.
The pain that used to sting just by brushing against clothes has completely healed to the point where I wonder when it ever hurt.
The shingles symptoms left blister scars and scars behind...
And the slight muscle pain, like a sequela, lasted for a few more weeks.
So, it takes about a month and a half to fully recover from shingles?
So now I am also taking propolis.
I usually only take one vitamin supplement, but that means the shingles was extremely painful.
Even young and generally healthy people can experience a lot of stress.
If you continue to have poor sleep habits, your immune system will weaken, and eventually, shingles may occur.
Therefore, if you are eligible for shingles vaccination, please make sure to get vaccinated!

진짜 대상포진은 안 겪어본 사람은 몰라요... 통증 미쳤어요 ㅠ
저도 멀쩡하다가 갑자기 걸렸어요… 스트레스 때문인지 면역력이 문제였던 듯 😢

저는 수포 생기기 전에 찌릿한 통증부터 왔어요… 그때 바로 병원 가세요! 한창 바쁠 때 걸렸는데 일도 못 하고 고생했어요… 조심하세요 진짜

젊다고 방심하지 마세요… 면역력 떨어지면 누구든 올 수 있어요!

대상포진은 하루라도 빨리 가는게 최고인 거 같습니다 조금이라도 증상이 보이면 미루지 말고 바로 가는게 고통도 시간도 돈도 절약하는 방법이에요

맞아요 되게 힘들다고 하더라고요..
잘 관리할 해야겠어요.

사람마다 질환의 통증이 다 다르다고 하지만 대상포진은 모두가 다 아프다는 한결같은 후기만 본 것 같아요ㅠㅠ 골든 타임이 3일이군요. 정말 기존에 두드러기 있는 분들은 그냥 지나치기도 쉬울 것 같네요. 고생하셨어요.
오둥씨
대상포진은 통증이 극심하다고 들었어요 ㅠ
건강한 사람도 갑자기 걸릴 수도 있고
지병이 있는분들은 특히 위험 대상이죠
대상포진은 낫는게 오래걸려요
그만큼 재발도 쉽고요
면역력을 위해 운동도 꾸준히하고 스트레스
덜받숙면 또한 잘하시면 좋지않을까요^^
명잔걸
에효대상포진으로 고생하셨어요
옛날에는 대상포진 심하면 자궁속까지 파고 들어가 사망도 한다고 했어요
물집긁어면 흔적이 생기죠
곰보가 됩니다
지금은 예방접종을하고 미리 피부과 가니 빨리 낳아요
건데 갠찮겠지하고 나두면 신경을 타고 번지는 증상이라 엄청고통이 심하다 합니다
피곤하면 생기는 증상이라 50 이후 꼭 예방접종해야 합니다

고생하셨네요.
면역관리 잘해야 할듯요

대상포진걸리니 수포가 생겨 간지러워서 고통스러워하더라구요.
조심해야 겠네요.
HEE
생생한 리얼 후기네요~ 대상포진 정말 무서운 것 같아요. 전 걸려본 적 없지만 다들 그렇게 아프다고 하는데 사실 대상포진 후기 사진만 보면 피부 발진과 수포 사진이 대부분이잖아요. 근데 이게 근육통까지 일으킨다는게... 가늠도 안가고 무섭네요ㅠㅠ
