Fibromyalgia skin rash or bacterial infection

[Shiva111]

Hi all I have Fibromyalgia and I have a terrible skin rash, I have been fighting it for many months I was just wondering if anyone else has a skin rash on their face or all over their body mind is all over and is almost like acne.

Hi Shiva111

Welcome to the forum and it is wonderful to make your acquaintance. I am so genuinely sorry to read that you are experiencing this horrid issue, and sometimes medications can cause this problem. Drugs such as Pregabalin / Lyrica, Gabapentin and Amitriptyline can cause a rash.

I have also pasted you a link below to the NHS Choices cache on something called Urticaria that can occur when our histamine levels are too high:

There could be so many reasons why this is happening to you from Eczema to lichen planus. I would discuss the rash with your doctor to try and ascertain the cause of it? I want to sincerely wish you all the best of luck an please take care of yourself.

I would also say that if it gets any worse or persists then please see your doctor as soon as you can.

I have also pasted you a link below to our mother site. FMA UK which hosts loads of useful Fibro information:

All my hopes and dreams for you

Thank you so much for your reply I will look into that. I have been battling the rash for seven months now I have taken four different rounds of antibiotics and seen several doctors. They can't figure it out. It occurred before I started taking Lyrica.
