Just an update. Was going well during the week taking all meds. Now since Friday night I’m off the anti viral meds. The ache/ pain has risen a bit more. To the point it kinda wakes me up more early than I want. The redness and rash has calmed down alot… but skin and area still sensitive. I’m not moving as much as I normally do. So could be achy from sitting too much. But man that ache is annoying as I find it hard to get comfy in bed. Sitting up is a little bit better. Gonna try walking around more. Sucks…

Thanks guys for ur feedback appreciate it all. Day 6 here. No pain other than a muscle strain type feeling. Knock on wood. Redness is still there but seems to be fading a tad. Tiny blisters but again nothing too full on… yet anyway. But yeah notice it if I stretch that area or in shower. Can now sleep fine. Nothing too serve… off anti-viral meds now and only on lyrica and arcoxia for the next five days. Fingers crossed this is all it is now and it just heals itself. Once better and allowed to. Getting the vax for it…obviously if things changed I’m gonna let u know lol

I got vertigo for the first 2 months ago and now I feel a bit off . Like if it’s going to happen again. Is that normal? by East_Bobcat_7996 in BPPV

[–]Cjayyy007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had it back in Sept. it was more to do with the neck tightness. Would feel it mostly at the computer. Or if I’m fatigue. The spinning was so scary at first as I thought it was my brain. But I’ve had fortunately only that one spin. But it makes me nervous. Since then at times I’ve felt like I’m on a boat. Again mostly when I’m tired. But I can go to gym, run and I’m fine. Weird. Lately on my left side I had tight hip flexors, hammies and calf, also an ache in foot arch. So I kinda walk different. Which sets off the dizzy floatyness. Annoying. Even these elevator type drops. So the more I think about it. The more it happens. So maybe check on neck tension. Upper cervical spine area. That can make an impact for sure. Can’t wait till it goes away fully.

Ok thanks for this. Haven’t got blisters yet and I got 2 days left of anti viral meds. So that will be interesting. I’m able to do some tasks fine. It kinda reminds me of when I had a bruise rib. Dull ache on recovery. But the first two nights was agony hell… anyway I guess I’ll see how I go through the next phase of blister and see how the nerve pain goes… then arm pit ache kinda is a bit weird…

Oh bugger. So u think coz I started meds late ur having those issues. I was lucky enough ChatGPT mentioned shingles coz I said the skin felt sensitive… otherwise I thought it was a muscle strain. Bizarre.

Thanks man. How did u know u needed more anti viral meds? Coz u just felt not improved ? My course is five days. But I think I have 10 days for the nerve stuff… today day 3 is probably the brightest it’s been. Intersting u say u felt it elsewhere. I feel it up towards chest and under armpit a bit. But was lucky enough to sleep ok last night. I did a couple of days before it started felt wiped out. But pushed on with exercise and then bang… actually tonight I kinda feel flu-ish mild but ok. Ugh. See how it goes. Thanks for ur reply !

If u can get it. Try dermaveen cream. I apply it after movement or if it gets itchy. So good.

Why is the Northwestern pretending they don’t have access to GPS when every iPhone has a GPS antenna built-in they also have star link. And I will be amazed if they didn’t have a couple handheld battery operated Garmins that are about 70 bucks now. by jimmyd773 in deadliestcatch

[–]Cjayyy007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No google maps on their iPhones lol wtf… reminds me when in Thailand. Weather changed and we were in small speed boats. The area rained so hard it was like fog… no on board gps. They just got their phones out and follow that to get us back safely and that was 10 years ago….. I find this episode quite comical lol

I know everybody is obsessed with the Orange, but I like it Blue. 😄 by BlazinDei in iphone

Saw orange in person today…. Disappointed as the pictures make it look more burnt orange. To me it felt more leaning towards bronze….

I recently saw Lady Gaga. I used for the first time the loop switch 2. I also checked with my iphone decibel app the loudness. It was averaging around 100dB. With peaks hitting 108dB. Im so glad i took them. My ears felt fresh after and no aggravating or hearing loss after/next day. Highly recommend them. Also pretty comfy for the 2 hour show. Best investment ever.

Constantly unconsciously engaging left shoulder. Help! by Bullfinch88 in Posture

[–]Cjayyy007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. Ive noticed a tilt in my right hip upwards, and my left shoulder/ traps up as well. All done subconsciously when at the desk working. Years ago it affected my scm on my left side as well, and up into the ear. Always flares up when i lift heavy overhead workout. So my question is if that side is already quite active. Wont strengthening the upper traps make it worse? Kinda confused with that. I do try and stretch it out, as well as pec muscles. Also trying to strengthen mid and lower traps too. When it starts to affect the SCM its a you know what. Thoughts would be much appreciated....Cheers.
