[|Human|] hello Lately i have been having little pricks travelling in different parts of my body especially on the right side of my body. It s almost like little burning sensations on the nerves. I was wondering if it could be lupus or shingles even though i don t have the rash of shingles
[|AI|]  Hello, initially shingles does have any rashes, only burning sensation on the affected area. This area is like a strip over one side of skin, where that particular group of nerves travel. But again if, different parts of body is involved, than chances of shingles is very less. Rashes of lupus is not like that. They are typically present on both side, not only on one side, and not causing pricks only. I think you should see your doctor as soon as possible, because if shingles, medicines work better when given in early disease activity
