I have had sharp pains down my right arm and hand. They have eased a little over last few days but also gone to neck and shoulder and back on right side. I then got red patches on hand and arm which i thought were caused my friction when using tools. These have now turned to blisters which are itchy, painful, and tingling. I have no energy and can't sleep for the pain so i do think i have shingles.
Can dizziness with sudden head movement be associated with shingles or is this likely to be a separate ear balance issue which I often get in spring? i am 66 and have been concerned with very short term memory at present which i now see could be linked. Hopefully this will all pass soon!
