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.
Hi Mr. Hult,
It’s Debi Reynolds over in the US. It’s been about 8 months since I’ve visited the site and wanted to come by to see your new stuff. Sorry to hear about your Shingles. My father-in-law had them and I know how painful it is. But you just hang in there. I’ll say a prayer for a speedy recovery.
Hi Mr. Hult,
So sorry to hear about your shingles. You do great work, so I’m praying for your speedy recovery!!
God Bless!!
Just wanted to tell you I have had the chicken pox and the shingles and they are both bad. Wonder if you can catch the shingles twice. Had chicken pox when I was little and the shingles as a young adult and now I am an old adult and sure don’t want them again. I never broke out with the shingles either, but doctor said I had them inside. and I know how bad I hurt.
Thanks for your site. Enjoyed it. God Bless….
