Q: Symptoms of herpes zoster
asked by: DoctorQuestion on July 4th, 2008
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?

Fibromyalgia Answer A4380
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.
