Any clues

For the last 3 weeks I've had tingling ,and a feeling like I've been nettled,and feeling sore down my arms and legs,,short sharp stabbing pains all over also feel like ive walked into a cobweb a cross my face at times.
Ive tried Antihistamine tablet which does reduce it a little .
Theres no rash ,so what can it be ..
Dr said to leave it for another 3 weeks see if it goes away by it self..

Re: Any clues

That sounds pretty uncomfortable Eliza. My first thought was shingles but you haven't a rash.

Re: Any clues

If after 2 weeks no change, definitely go back to docs
Tingling - pins and needless should not be ignored ........

Re: Any clues

Symptoms of shingles include:

•Pain that is itching, stabbing or shooting.
•Tingling feeling in or under the skin, which is red in the affected area.
•High temperature, chills, and headache.

Re: Any clues

It was mine too but ive had Shingles and had the jab for it too ,..
It comes and goes in different places and different degrees , at the moment one side of my face feels burnt and sore .
I wonder if i could have shingles without the rash .

Re: Any clues

Perhaps its blood circulation problems.

Re: Any clues

Eliza have you used anything different, eg washing powder, deoderant, body spray?

Hope you get to the bottom of it. Skin complaints are a pain. The fact the antihistamine helps looks a bit promising. What antihistamine are you using? Could it be a bit stronger to get rid of a maybe temporary allergy? Cetirizine helps me.

Re: Any clues

Im taking Cetirizine one a day,but ive taken a second one tonight .
Im thinking of going back to the chemist to get a stronger one .im not eating or using anything different,

Im also looking at whether it could be a side effect of meds im on ,or coming off ADs..

Re: Any clues

I think ive looked up that as well as trapped nerves,some symptoms are simalar..

Re: Any clues

I had shingles once, no rash only sign was small blisters on my forehead.
