Shingles (infection)

I got a case of Shingles in January of 2009. Fortunately, it was just on my left had and lower left arm. Hurt like hell and it took a while to subdue both the pain and skin condition. I did enough research to know that I was in for a long recovery at best. I walk my dog in the morning and have an orange tree in the back yard. About mid February, the oranges were ripe enough to eat so I grabbed one on a morning walk. As I peeled it, the orange oil from the rind covered my hands. I watched the redness on my hand begin to lessen and the pain begin to measurable subside. That relief lasted for about four hours. I took some orange peels with me to work in a baggie the next days and would spread the oil from the rind on as needed. As Shingles suffers know, the pain can return at anytime for some time to come. Each time it does, I head for the back yard, grab an orange and experience immediate relief. Give it a try and enjoy the orange after you peel it.

It sounds like shingles. They are itchy but very painful, they effect the nerve endings.If you have had chicken pox or the vaccine it's possible that he now has shingles. Check if you have a fever, and try to go to the doctor. I know that this sounds weird but if you cant get to the doctor just grind up some aspirin and mix it with hand lotion and rub it all over the suspicious area, if you do have shingles then this will help a little bit. If you have already had chicken pox or gotten your vaccine then you could have shingles

This is a layman's understanding of the situation. Shingles occurs in individuals who have already had episodes of chickenpox, sometimes many years prior to the shingles. The virus doesn't leave the system after the course of the original episode of chickenpox. The virus takes up residence in various parts of the nervous system, where it just remains completely harmless for most people. It is not clear what triggers an episode of shingles, but the virus will sometimes work its way down the nerves/neurons to cause an episode of 'shingles'. Shingles itself is not caused (at least directly) by exposure to an airborne virus. Chickenpox, however, can be transmitted as an airborne infection. Possibly, although rarely, an individual may become infected with chickenpox following skin contact with the virus, since it has high concentrations in the liquids in the characteristic body lesions.

yes you can place new shingles over old shingles as long as the first layer of shingles are not curled....you will need 1 1/4 - 1 1/2 roofing nails..and 2 courses is the limit...follow same procedure as first roof installation

Scabies is more common amongst females than males.

Yes, unfortunately you can get it in your ear canal. Shingles[Herpes Zoster] wil cause blisters along nerve pathways, and I believe your tri-geminal nerve pathway is close to the ear, and also your eye. Don't be afraid to demand adequate pain medication. If you are over 60 and not currently infected, there is a vaccine called Zostavax which is supposed to reduce the risk of future out breaks. I have had Shingles and know how excruciatingly painful it can be. The vaccine makes me hopeful for newer better treatments. I had my Zostavax shot two weeks ago with no adverse effects so far. Good luck to you.

Yes African Americans get shingles, however whites are 4 times more likely to get shingles.

33' for 3 tab, 25' for architect

Actually, most three tab bundles only cover 32 sq feet. And architectural shingles cover about the same (it varies from manufacturer). But architectural shingles have less waste since there's no exact pattern to follow(unlike the slots in three tab shingles). You can save your scrap cut offs if they're 4-5" long. Owens corning shingles allow 4-5" offsets. You just have to be careful of your nail pattern. Oh, about that coverage, some 50yr shingles only cover 25sq feet, but most are 33 sq feet. Basically, one bundle for every sheet of plywood.

Shingles isn't spread by saliva, but by contact with wet sores or blisters due to shingles. You're not likely to get it from sharing a spoon unless the person had shingles on their hands or lips.

It should. If it doesn't, it is not expensive.

Real slate the average is $1,200 per Sq ft this includes the felt barrier and copper nails required with copper (14 Oz) flashing and counter flashing and pitch pockets around all roof penetrations

A cold sore is a lesion that forms around the oral area and the most common etiologic microbe is the herpes simplex virus. One is no longer contagious once the lesion crusts over and fades away - usually a 7-10 day process.

This depends on the type of viral infection and how long it is contagious. It is best to be on the safe side and try to stay away until your health care professional says that the person is no longer contagious.

If the virus is a flu virus, then the CDC recommends that you should stay isolated from others until you have gone 24 hours straight without a fever when not taking fever-reducing medicines. Use a thermometer to measure your temperature frequently during that period and if you have a fever again, then wait another 24 hours.

It is possible for the outbreak to occur more than once; but only about 5% will have additional outbreaks.

what are the answers to the shingle applicators manual tenth edition

My dad recently found out he has shingles and the doctor has told him he cant fly, my parents had a holiday booked 2 days before he found out he had shingles, even the place they booked at told them he has to wait a week before going away.

There is a lot of information available on the internet about shingles in the mouth and it's best to consult reliable sites such as WebMD or NHS Direct. But as always the best source of information is a doctor or other medical professional.

IF you're going to get chickenpox from a shingles exposure, it would take between 10 and 21 days to get chickenpox.

You'd have to never have had chickenpox before to get shingles, however, even if you'd never had chickenpox, you still might not catch them from being exposed to shingles.

Anything, except grilled items, you shouldn't grill indoors.

One treatment is medicated eyedrops (steroid or other) in the affected eye. Specific antiviral medications must be given if early enough. Sometimes pills are given. Definitely go to see an eye doctor!

Although shingles is NOT as common in teenagers, as it is in people over the age of 50, they can certainly become infected. The virus from the chicken pox lies dormant in the spinal cord, if any age child's immune system becomes weak, the virus can resurface in the form of shingles. It is noteworthy, that there is a link to excessive alcohol consumption and shingles. Teenagers tend to "experiment" with alcohol, and will overindulge. Recent studies have shown a direct link. My 17 teen old daughter recently stayed out all night, and was drinking. She came home the next AM (sick, and in trouble). Within 2 days, a blister was forming on her face, I immediately took her to her GP, sure enough, shingles....
