Hi guys
First post on this topic
I've got a shingles rash on my thigh, was confirmed and prescribed antivirals by a doctor which I started taking last night. I managed to get a video appointment with my actual GP this morning (I have trust issues 😂) who also confirmed it, but she said since I've had the rash since Sunday that I should stop taking the antivirals.
I've stopped taking them but now I've been stupidly reading other threads and people shouting that everyone HAS TO TAKE ANTIVIRALS for shingles.
I've got a mild burning pain down my leg and feel a bit run down so it's a mild case, presumably cause I'm only 25 and otherwise healthy.
Any advice?
