According to de Lapouge, the fossil bones may belong to one of the largest humans known to have existed. He estimated from the bone size that the human may have been about 3.50 metres (11.5 ft) tall. No modern peer-reviewed study has been published about the alleged giant bone fragments.
A case of shingles can last for up to a few weeks or more. The early symptoms include pain, itching, tingling, or a burning sensation at one location on the body, such as one side of the waist or face. A few days after these symptoms begin, the skin on the afflicted body part develops fluid-filled blisters.
1 In a few cases, only the pain is present without the rash or blisters. 2  The rash disappears as the scabs fall off in the next two to three weeks, and scarring may result. 3  Some patients develop postherpetic neuralgia (PHN), in which the localized pain of shingles remains even after the rash is gone.
