Shingles: Help!!! This Skin Disease Is Driving Me Nuts. by DasaintHope(m): 1:06pm On Mar 10, 2022 |
Good day Nairalanders. I started experiencing what I could call rib pains on my right rib cage last Friday GMT +1. Considering my Job I assumed I had fractured my ribs somehow without knowing, but the pain persisted till Monday that was when I started observing this rashes in clusters along my rib cage. I later found out from a Medical examiner on board that it is shingles caused by a dormant variant of chicken pox. He also said there was no cure, just to manage the symptoms till it dissapears. He gave me an Antifungal/ corticosteroid cream to apply, one other drug and paracetamol to take. Note this is because there is a shortage of Medical supplies. The rash keeps increasing and the pain is getting worst. I have attached a photo of my condition as of this morning, pardon the image quality its from an outdated computer camera. Please Guys has anyone experienced this before? How do I handle the pain as in what pain relief drug should I use for the mean time as I am planning on Seeking Medical help in Equatorial Guinea where we'll be ashore in 72 hours. Dominique Lalaaticlalala I'd appreciate if this gets to FP. 1 Like |

Several antiviral medicines— acyclovir, valacyclovir, and famciclovir —are available to treat shingles and shorten the length and severity of the illness. These medicines are most effective if you start taking them as soon as possible after the rash appears. 1 Like

Please go an herb seller and ask for herbs for it. I heard that it has no cure, and it is deadly |
