Symptoms of Recurring Shingles

Shingle is ultimately an infection caused by a virus. Actually, it is the same virus that causes chickenpox, according to the Mayo Clinic. Recurring shingles would essentially be the same as shingles, just that the infection returns after a period of time. No matter if it's the first, second or third time you've had shingles, the viral infection will generally cause the same symptoms as before.

  1. Pain

    • When suffering from recurring shingles, you'll normally experience fairly severe pain or even burning to the affected areas of the body.

    Rash

    • Another common symptom of recurring shingles is the development of red rash the skin that may raise, blister and break.

    Itchiness

    • If you've ever had shingles, you already know that the rash can become rather itchy and uncomfortable.

    Fever

    • Many people who have suffered from recurring shingles get a fever, usually around 101 degrees F, that may or may not be accompanied by the chills.

    Headache

    • Recurring shingles may also cause you to suffer from periodic moderate to severe headaches.

    Stomach Issues

    • Recurring shingles can elicit some stomach pains or even an upset stomach during some point of the infection.
