Experience of self-isolation until the vesicle symptoms of chickenpox subside
2024.08.17 13:59
I had chickenpox as an adult two years ago. At first, I experienced headaches and muscle aches, so I thought I was just very tired. However, my immune system suddenly weakened due to chronic fatigue, causing dizziness and a weak heartbeat, which made me feel unwell. About two days later, small bumps appeared, and three days after that, blisters like vesicles formed. I isolated myself at home until the chickenpox symptoms subsided and used soothing lotions like calamine lotion to relieve intense itching. Now, I am taking regular sleep to prevent getting chickenpox again and consuming high-dose propolis and other immune-boosting supplements daily.
Chickenpox is an acute viral disease characterized by symptoms of systemic blister-like rashes that can be transmitted to others. Therefore, if you catch chickenpox, you need to be careful because it can spread through coughing, saliva, or direct contact. I had chickenpox when I was young, but I have never had it after turning 20. In fact, I had rarely heard of adult chickenpox among my acquaintances. However, due to severe fatigue and a sudden drop in immunity, I experienced dizziness and a weak heartbeat multiple times while working, making daily life difficult. Two years ago, I contracted adult chickenpox. At first, I thought it was just a mild headache and muscle pain, so I believed rest would suffice, but from the second day, small bumps appeared, and by the third day, blisters like vesicles formed. I isolated myself at home until the scabs formed and the symptoms subsided, waiting for the chickenpox to improve. After contracting chickenpox, I experienced intense itching that I had never felt before, so I used an anti-itch lotion like calamine lotion and wore well-ventilated clothes, making a concerted effort not to scratch.
Chickenpox is generally said to improve naturally without special treatment in people with normal immunity. However, if a person with weakened immunity due to aging or complications contracts chickenpox, antiviral medication is necessary. Since then, I have focused on strengthening basic physical strength and boosting immunity, taking high-dose propolis and other supplements beneficial for immune enhancement daily. Because chickenpox and shingles cause extreme pain and severe itching, it is important to maintain good health before contracting them.
