What Are The Symptoms Of Shingles?

I have been having flu-like symptoms feeling like I have a fever when I don t, no congestion or respiratory problems, bad stomach ache and severe diarrhea for several days plus nausea.I had this a couple of weeks ago and a doctor gave me a three-day supply of Cipro which enabled me to get back to Florida from Indiana where we had evacuated. I was afraid when he only gave me enough for three days that it would come back with a vengeance.Can this be intestinal shingles? I had shingles on my head a few years ago and this feels very much like it only I haven t yet gotten a rash. The diarrhea wasn t this bad, I don t think, when I had shingles before.I got a shingles vaccine but read that it only reduces the risk of getting it again.How can a doctor tell if it is internal shingles?

Hello dear,my name is dr,Dorina Gurabardhi.
I understand your concern.Symtpoms of shingles include
-Pain or bruised feeling - usually on one side of your face or body - often along with a fever, chills, headache or upset stomach.
-Tingling, itching or prickling skin, and an inflamed, red skin rash several days later.
-A group or long strip of small, fluid-filled blisters.
-Deep burning, searing, aching or stabbing pain, which may occur once in a while or last a long time.
