A few times in the past I've had what can only be described as a shingles type pain on a thigh in a smallish area roughly 3 inch diameter and it fades after an hour or so and that's it gone.
I'm having a similar thing right now but it's most of my left thigh. Started 2 hours ago. I'll have to sleep on top of the bed, can't have anything touching it. Never had shingles before just these strange short episodes with no markings on skin but this time it's a large area.
I had a bath with Epsom salts and ACV, when the water was hot it helped, as soon as temp dropped to warm the pain would return.
Currently have the burning raw feeling, with zingy electric shocks giving me a slight heart twinge with the shock every few minutes.
Had chicken pox age 11. I'm praying this eases like it usually does this is the last thing I need during lockdown while my GP surgery is shut and like Fort Knox to see a doctor and I don't want to go anywhere near a hospital or outside for that matter... Not only am I isolating but if it was shingles doesn't that mean my immune system is shoddy right now?
Even just calling my GP receptionists is a minimum of a two hour battle (no answer machine or queue, just engaged so you have to keep redialling for hours)
