So I go this afternoon for my meds review to discuss dosage and to chat about side effects.
I tell my GP I have had burning, and sensitive to touch skin around my left hip area ( for five days), my GP examines me and says have you any rash or anything, I tell her I have insect bites on my left leg about 5 to be exact, these aren't insect bites you have shingles she said.
I have had the rash for 3 days so luckily a high dose of Antiviral drugs should prevent it from getting worse.
If I hadn't had my meds review I would have put the pain and discomfort down to anxiety or side effects.
So important to keep an eye on your general health whilst starting up meds.
On the plus side the antiviral medication makes me drowsy and sleepy, so hopefully a good night sleep for me :yesyes:
