Alluvial diamonds is the term used to describe diamonds that have been removed from the primary source (Kimberlite) by natural erosive action over millions of years, and eventually deposited in a new environment such as a river bed, an ocean floor or a shoreline.
Early Signs and Symptoms of Shingles. The first symptom of shingles is often burning or tingling pain, or sometimes numbness, in or under the skin. An individual may also feel ill with fever, chills, headache, or an upset stomach. Shingles pain can be mild or intense, and is often described as unrelenting.
Shingles is caused by the herpes zoster virus, the same virus that causes chicken pox. Aging, compromised immunity or other illness can cause the virus to awaken from dormancy. Shingles usually affects the torso, causing a painful rash with blisters. When shingles affects the eye, it is known as herpes zoster opthalmicus. Treatment includes oral antiviral medications and oral corticosteroids. It's important to seek treatment right away to prevent complications, including severe, recurring pain or relapses of the disease.
