Risk to the general public remains low

On June 30, 2022, the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) identified the first confirmed case of orthopoxvirus, presumed to be monkeypox, in a resident of Dane County. The patient is currently isolating and the risk remains low for the general public. As of June 30, there have been 396 confirmed monkeypox and orthopoxvirus cases in the United States due to this outbreak. DHS, federal, state, and local partners are working closely together to investigate and monitor the current monkeypox outbreak...

U.S. orders 2.5 million more doses of Bavarian Nordic's vaccine for monkeypox

The company, headquartered in Denmark, is the only one in the world to have approval for a smallpox vaccine called Jynneos in the U.S. and Imvanex in Europe, which is also effective against monkeypox.

July 1 (Reuters) - The U.S. government has ordered 2.5 million more doses of Bavarian Nordic's (BAVA.CO) vaccine for use against monkeypox outbreaks, the Department of Health and Human Services said on Friday.
The shot has already been cleared for both smallpox and monkeypox in the United States, where it is called Jynneos.
The U.S. government is ramping up its efforts to fight monkeypox by sending hundreds of thousands of vaccine doses to states in the coming months, expanding access for those most at risk and increasing supply to areas with high case numbers.

Globally, there have been more than 3,400 cases of monkeypox and one death since the outbreak began in May, according to a World Health Organization tally.
Bavarian Nordic said the total U.S. inventory of the vaccine would reach about 4.4 million doses when combined with a 2020 order for 1.4 million doses.
"This order of additional Jynneos vaccine will help us push out more vaccine quickly, knowing that we have more doses on the way in the coming months," HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra said.
Deliveries under the latest contract will start in the fourth quarter of 2022 and continue through early 2023, the company said.

So, the old Grandpa had a fever and trouble breathing...they did a chest xray, won't know the results til Wed, and apparently they rushed another test that was pos for TB.
I sprayed down the door knobs that customer touched.

My question is, what made them think tb right off the bat? Or maybe the xray was to check for pneumonia? Customer's husband (the other man) was also running a fever yesterday, and they left for the beach this morning. She has a 3 week old baby, and other kids.

Our new normal is a nightmare.

Husband was a corpsman in the Navy, and was told that basically all Filipinos test tb positive, even if they don't have it. And what do almost all of them do in the navy? Cook the food.

Can't speak to the veracity of these two sites, but it sounds like China is taking the lead as the first country in the world who wants to try to keep from importing Monkeypox:


"All travelers entering China from abroad must undergo monkeypox virus tests, in addition to tests for the COVID-19 virus, the official Diario del Pueblo reported today, which also cites a new disease prevention guide published by the National Health Commission."

Has anyone used J.R. Watkins Petro Carbo First Aid Salve, which has a pain reliever in it (Phenol) for it's pain relieving benefits? I bought some recently, but have not tried it yet for pain. I'm wondering if it might be helpful in treating (the pain) from Monkeypox. It has been discontinued, I believe, so may be hard to get, but I've not seen any other products with Phenol in it (but have not looked too hard).

No idea but my sister loves everything else they sell especially their vanilla

But honestly I have a feeling…the pain from this disease cannot be touched by what we can do at home.
:(

They are saying morphine is being used on patients. :(

Have you looked for Campo-Phenique? It's for pain and irritation of the skin and is made with phenol. It's commonly used to treat cold sores.

I've read that morphine is used to help with the pain from monkeypox as well. Even then, I'm reading it doesn't fully control it.

Would this be for most patients, or for those with the most severe cases that have to be hospitalized? I think most cases are mild. Good thing I have saved alot of our pain med's from past surgeries! No morphine, though.

Morphine will be exploited by some doctors, and quickly clamped down on, and there will be none available for most.

I'm not sure. I read the story of a man in California who has it, and it's a mild case. He said it's very painful. Maybe he has a low tolerance?

Here is what I have gleamed from reading a bunch of threads from people that say they have (or think they have*) Monkeypox and the symptoms seem to match. The pain levels seems to be really high. One pain is a sort of all over body ache much like the flu, but worse. Another is a muscle pain, similar to strained or over exercised muscles that hurt when you move, only worse. The third is more of a painful itch, that is on the sores themselves.

Everyone that talks about the pain describe it as pretty bad, as compared to other things they have had such as the flu or headaches, but they seem to have limited experience with serious chronic pain to compare it to. For those that seem to have a more serious case of it, a couple have compared it what sounds like serious chronic pain, and it seem on the slightly milder version of that (worse than a simple fracture broken arm, more like on par with herniated discs in the lower back).

None of the people at home (that mentioned anything at all) are being prescribed anything stronger than Oxy or hydrocodone. The very few that are in the hospital (in the EU only) are being given morphine, and they say it does not really help. The way that those in the hospital describe the symptoms seem dramatically worse than the ones that are dealing with it at home.

Overall, my impression is that it is very painful compared to what most people have experienced, but like all things there is a wide swath of how painful - which seems to be tied mostly to how serious the infection is manifesting. I would expect that ANY pain relief is better than NO pain relief.

With the OTC medicine shortage that is coming, and the RX shortage that is spinning up, I expect there to be extreme shortages of ANY pain relievers this Fall 2022 thru the end of 2023.

Keep in mind, all of this is my impression of what they wrote, which may be wildly off base.

* Because doctors are refusing to test them if they are women, children, heterosexual men, or homosexual men in a monogamous relationship.

I know it's not the same thing, but while reading what you wrote, I was thinking this sounds just like the kind of pain that is associated with Shingles. My mom had a severe case of them a few months ago, and that's the same kind of pain she described.

As a side note, one RX drug to consider talking to your doctor about, and getting (after your doctor prescribes it to you of course) is Ketorolac. It is in the same class of drugs as ibuprofen (and NSAID) but is much much stronger. I found out about it after they were using it to prescribe for serious surgery patients (like heart surgery) that could not be prescribed narcotics because of addiction history. Typically you can only get a RX to take it for 7-10 days.

Someone I know (let's call him my friend), had his doctors decided to prescribe it for him chronically, and it gives him far more pain relief than narcotics like morphine or hydrocodone. Ketorolac has serious issues for the kidneys and stomach with long term use, so it is NOT a "safe" drug to take. My friend has his blood & kidney's checked every 3 months. He is going on 8+ years with perfect numbers.

I say all this, so that someone doesn't just buy it off of AllDayChemist (because they sell it cheaply) willy-nilly and start taking it whole-hog-load of it because it was mentioned. This one is great, but seriously, talk to a doctor about it after doing a bunch of research.

I haven't seen anyone (that reports having it) describe it as nerve pain (yet), and haven't seen any medical articles talking about what actually causes the pain. I'll keep an eye out as I'm reading for any mention of it.

Was searching for more info, and found this person that posted their story to buzzfeed, who says they contracted it from skin to skin contact with a friend:

I Currently Have Monkeypox — Here Are 20 Details About My Experience (So Far)

This is my experience, but it boils down to this: This shit sucks and you don’t want it.
www.buzzfeed.com www.buzzfeed.com


Two notable quotes:

9. All that seemed to help were frequent baths and ointments — until I went back to the doctor and was prescribed narcotic painkillers. Even those were only so-so at managing the pain.

17. In the process, many friends and acquaintances reached out to say they either also had it or had been exposed. While it was reassuring to know I wasn’t alone, it also made me worry that cases were being severely undercounted.
