hi debbie yes i get a rashes all over its a build up from toxins in your muscles because of the pain overload etc;

but it is worth having a double check see when theyre more noticable, after tablet taking or at any time my skin itches too

hope this helps

Very interesting comment from poppy. I've definately overdone it over the weekend, & have really been paying for it pain wise. My thighs & upper arms are aching so much, & been itching like mad! I can't see any rash or reddening, but keep scratching like I've got fleas! (not that I know what it's like to have fleas.........)

Do the toxins cause the itching or just a rash?

the toxins can cause both, sometimes a simple anti histermine can help easy symptoms for a short time which my doctor has prescribed but you can buy them over the counter -just the regular type

Hi Debbie, I am new to the blog, but yes. I notice that when I have flare ups that I have this subtle tiny bumped rash all on my face. it sucks, because I already don't recognize myself with this disease and then I have to look in the mirror and have yet one more thing that is not like what I used to be before fibro. I agree with what poppy said about the histamines, I usually take benadryl (antihistamine) and it helps some.
