Symptoms of herpes zoster Posted: 07-04-08 12:25pm
Occurances of this "attack" are on the
increease. Doctor did not think rash had
anything to do with aches/pains/abdominal
pain. But rash does occur everytime. Do
you have any idea what this might be?
Current medical status: Fibromyalgia
attack(?) Last one was fours months ago.
Total body aches with accompanying red
rash around torso. Rash feels like pins
and needles, with aching feeling.
Abdominal discomfort. No fever. I had an
ultrasound that showed some constipation
but this is an unusual occurance as bowel
movements may be as many as 3 or 4 per
day.
Current medical treatment: 1 150mg
novo-burpropion sr in the morning 1 100mg
apo-sertraline at night
A rash accompanied by pain and pins and
needles sensations could be due to herpes
zoster. You may want to consult a
dermatologist about this.
