Hi, this is my 22nd day of Shingles - I am having a pretty tough time and the last week or so I have been having to deal with nausea as well - thought tonight I would google nausea and shingles - happy to read that nausea is connected with shingles so in a way that is a relief! and its not something else I have to research - I don't as a rule go to doctors but the pain etc etc is really getting me down, I have acute pain in my left knee the same side as my shingles outbreak - located at C3-5 across my back and under left arm - the knee problem came first probably about 4 weeks prior to the shingles - I was wondering if the 2 problems could be related? I am as a rule an extremely health and active 62yo woman. Both the nausea and knee problem are causing me much unpleasantness, I would appreciate some advice. Judy from Australia - hesitant about giving credit card details - will seek advice from local doctor tomorrow - sorry.
