It's been a while since i've last posted.
As the exams are drawing closer, which is scheuled to start next tues, as usual, we have a load of revision classes, unfortunely, i was struck down by this disease called shingles (Herpes Zooster. The chinese called it a snake disease or your body got snake), a disease which strikes only ppl who got chickenpox before. After chickenpox, the virus hides in the nerves, inactive untill the immume system went down due to a couple of reasons before it reactivates again to cause shingles.Whether how i got this diseases is confusing, as my parents say i've comsumed to high of the so-called 'heaty' foods.Doctor say i got it in a young age, as thus disease strikes at ppl over age 40+ due to stress.
Although the spots were'nt as much as those you will see in the internet, it was completely pain, itch and sometimes a electrical & burning sensation,which is beyond of that of chicken pox or what i've experienced, forcing me to miss 2 important presesntation and a couple of revision class and not able to concentrate to study for a period of time.
Currently i've recovered to a point that i will not infect other ppl, but i still feared that i might have spread it to other ppl as well(they get chickenpox instead,and those who got chickenpox before have nothing to be afraid about.), as some of my friends such as kiatlun did not hsve chickenpox before.I will find out only at next week, as chickenpox has a incubation period(In case you dunno, it means how long do you take to get the signs of the disease after being exposed to the disease) of 2weeks. Really, it's been very fustrating that my recovery speed is'nt as fast as i've expected, as shingles is expected to subside in 2weeks, and it's been 2 weeks already,although i did not feel any itch.
Ugh. Hopefully i can fully recover before the exams are over and not allow this disease to cost me the exam.Well, i better go off to study now!
