Shingles!
Mr. Hult was on Monday diagnosed with Shingles and is now being treated with Zovir.
Shingles is a very painful kind of rash and you can only get it if you’ve had Chicken Pox earlier in life. Mr. Hult started getting pains in his armpit on friday and then the pain spread to his breast area and onto his back, no rash to be seen, only pains and stinging.
In Danish this condition is called “Fires of hell” (helvedesild) because of the severe burning and stinging sensation and pains. Luckily Mr. Hult has no rash (yet) and our hope is, since he’s being treated at an early stage he might not get the rash and blisters. If a person gets the rash and blisters others who have not had Chicken Pox shouldn’t come near, they could develope Chicken Pox then. You can not pass on Shingles to others.
How unfair people can get Shingles years after having Chicken Pox, as if Chicken Pox isn’t painful enough!Anyone who have had Chicken Pox never forgets!
Please keep Mr. Hult in your thoughts and wish for a speedy recovery. Thank you.
