I went to see the doctor again today. Well, concerning my herpes zoster. It was quite cool. And instead of being too worried or afraid of its complications after the viral infection, I am rather feeling more excited than all that. So was the doctor, I realized today. It's like, he was rather glad and proud of himself in a good way that he had diagnosed it quite precisely. And the true intention of him asking me to come to him again was to confirm his diagnosis. Laugh out loud. Seriously funny.
It was painful but not as bad as it was a few days ago. I had to feed on the Acyclovir for another five days. For yours information, the medicine was quite costly. One of those tablets was RM2.50. It was expensive to me at least. My total medical fees summed up to RM233. It was quite expensive as compared to previous medical fees that I had to spent on before. But well, money is nothing to health. One's health is definitely more important than the former.
This was a great experience. Its pain might be unbearable at some time. Even though so, I've learned quite much from this incident. All I hope is that it won't leave any dreadful scars on my face. On the bright side, I am not worry about any complications which are serious after today. Those complications include prolonged pain, partial facial paralysis, ear damage, blindness....etc. Oh well, I hope for the best.
Yet, this is the time where I gained my laughter back after like some three to four months. I've been quite miserable lately if you would like to know, refer to those previous posts I had. Yeah, it said on the internet that emotional stress could be one of the reasons that weaken my immune system and consequently unable to surpress the dormant virus in which it starts causing rashes and blisters outbreak on one's skin. Yea, it is also only on one side of the body, not both. This is something very interesting and unique. It was because of this characteristic of the symptoms that made the doctor diagnosed it as herpes zortes. Herpes simplex virus type-1 luckily, which only occurs on the upper half of the body. I do not want it to be a herpex simplex virus type-2 as that would happen to the lower half of the body, most likely those private places. Oh no, I don't want to imagine that, i would be super painful!! Yikes!!
The thing is, this incident might recur or might not recur ever again. Thus making it a once in a lifetime experience. It is good actually and I've been very cheerful about it and very very very optimistic. Having said that should there be any scars left over on the right-side of my face, I would wear a mask to school. Nevertheless, I joked to myself about how I would become the next Phantom of the Opera. In this case, it might not be the opera, but something else. In a way, still similar in style of the Phantom. Laugh out loud. I'm having a plentiful of good time.
Before I forget, the next best thing about this is - I get to skip school for three solid days. WONDERFUL!!!
P.S. As I was researching about it on the net, I initially hoped for a month. That seems impossible. Laugh out loud. My wild imagination!!
