I called my doctor and he said it was not possable to have shingles on bothe sides of my body. They are on my face, chest, scalp, back, and no on the back of my leg. I feel like they will never go away. He is checking me for Lupus because I have Thombocytopienia and Hashimoto disorder is there any one out there with these problems too?

My Mother had shingles, lower right back spreading around to tummy. We thought it was just a rash, as I have psoriasis. Within two days it had erupted on the left side and so off to the Physician who gave her some new pills? Probably not so new now, but they really did the trick.

Have you been exposed to chickenpox lately? There are opportunities for a shingles to appear if you are exposed to someone acute with it. Being that you have other comorbidities (other conditions) will compromise your immune system and make you vulnerable to shingles. Most physicians will put you on pain killers and steroids for shingles. The shingles follows a nerve pathway. Try reducing your stress; stay away from kids who have not had chickenpox; take our medication, try soothing baths (oatmeal baths); get plenty of rest. If your doctor says it isn't shingles could it be allergies?
