An Introduction to Shingles

Shingles is a skin rash that is caused by the same virus that causes you to have chickenpox. When shingles appears, it comes in the form of a small strip or band on one side of your face or any other part of the body, and can be very painful. Shingles can also be called herpes zoster, and the reason for this is because it comes from the varicella zoster virus. The best way to treat shingles is through antiviral medications such as Famvir, Valtrex, Zovirax, and Acylovir, which you can do by getting Online Prescriptions from an Online Doctor or any other doctor within your vicinity. In addition, you will most likely also need to take painkillers in order to get some relief from this painful condition.

Shingles usually occurs in older adults, or with people that tend to have a weak immune system. This weak immune system could be due to certain medicines, certain types of injuries, or too much stress. The way in which the whole process occurs generally starts from when you were first infected with chickenpox. Once you recover from chickenpox, the virus which causes it then becomes dormant in the roots of your nerves. In most cases, this virus stays dormant. However, for small a percentage of people, the varicella zoster virus wakes up because of a weakened immune system, and this in turn triggers your body to get shingles. While it is impossible to catch shingles from another person, it is possible to get chickenpox from a person who has shingles if you have never had chickenpox before, and the reason for this is because the varicella zoster virus can spread from one person to another.

The symptoms of shingles comes in stages. Generally, you first begin to notice a headache, and you will usually become very sensitive to light. At this point, it will almost feel as if you have the flu, but without having any fever. Once you have past this stage, you then begin to feel pain, itching and tingling in the area where the rash will begin to develop. Once the rash has been around for a few days, it then turns into blisters, and these blisters will usually begin to fill with fluid, which then has a crust over it. It will usually take around 2 to 4 weeks for all of the blisters to completely heal, and there is a chance that scars may be left over from this ordeal.

During this time, you can feel dizzy and week, and you will generally have a persistent pain on the area of your face that is infected. There are occasions where your vision can be affected, and the way you think can also be changed to some degree. If this does occur, it is crucial that you visit your Online Doctor as soon as possible, as this will ensure that you get the best treatment via Online Prescriptions in order to treat shingles. Either way, the earlier that you can begin treatment with antiviral medication, the more effective the treatment will be at helping you to recover at a faster rate from this condition.
