Silver Steele, an adult actor in Texas, was diagnosed with monkeypox in July. Fortunately, after three weeks of treatment, he recovered in early August. He pointed out that his rash was mainly around the mouth, and it was as painful as a knife stabbing. He hoped to use his own example to raise awareness of the available resources among the same-sex community, so he decided to share the process with everyone.
according to《insider》According to the report, Sidier revealed that about a week after attending a party on July 4, a lump like a pimple started to appear. Since the lump does not hurt, I thought it was a normal wound. Unexpectedly, I suddenly felt very uncomfortable 4 days later. “My lymph nodes were swollen and it was painful to swallow.” Then he developed fever, chills, night sweats and other symptoms, which lasted about 48 hours.
Stil said that as the fever subsided, his wounds started to hurt, and the rash was mainly around the mouth, with damage to the mouth, gums and throat. “It hurts the most when I eat, and sometimes I just sit and watch. TV, all of a sudden it was like a knife stabbing you, the pain was very severe.” In addition to monkeypox, he even suffered from strep throat, which made it difficult for him to swallow food and lost a lot of kilograms.
Stil recalled that when the doctor took off the tongue depressor after examining the throat, the pain was so black that he almost fainted. Fortunately, after 3 weeks of treatment, Si Dier gradually recovered. Steier mentioned that he had been vaccinated against smallpox and encouraged others at risk to do the same. Si Dier believes that he is more fortunate than others, and hopes to raise the awareness of the same-sex group of available resources, so he decided to share the process with everyone.
