2. Malaise
Malaise is a very subjective symptom that can be described as a general feeling of discomfort or a state of uneasiness that is quite difficult to describe. Due to its subjectivity, it is not a very helpful diagnostic tool, as it is a non-specific symptom that can be associated with many conditions.
This symptom is part of the constitutional signs and symptoms associated with the early stage of the disease, just before the rash appears. Just like the rest of the symptoms seen in the early stage of shingles, it doesn’t last very long.
