I'm exhausted!

Some spots still haven't healed/ scabbed. Just wondering when I'll feel human again?!

Just over 2 weeks . Had loads on my scalp , and also the pubic area and it drove me mad .
Hope it improves for you soon .

Thanks that's helpful as I need to inform work. I think current spots will be crusted in 2-3 days but it's the fatigue and disorientation that's getting me.

Could barely get out of bed yesterday ffs. I actually felt more well last week when the spots were at their worst!

Two weeks. It's a nasty virus to get when you are older

I had it as an adult as well and felt pretty rough for a couple of weeks, adults often more ill with it than children

Thanks all

Some areas the spots were so close together it was one large merged area of horrific itch

I just feel very odd and tired now
