Hi, does anyone have any experience of abdominal pain caused by PR? MY daughter was just diagnosed today (she is 10) and was in hospital last week due to her severe tummy pain. She has had this for nearly 6 weeks, and has missed school all this time, so very severe, but Wednesday last week suddenly got even worse and unable to walk unaided.

i am hoping that the increase in severity may be in part due to the PR as have seen anecdotal evidence of ab pain, and tummy problems mentioned on nhs page but wondered how common this is.

    When I say she has had this for 6 weeks, I mean the tummy pain. Her herald spot appeared about Thursday last week.

    WOW!!!! How nasty for both of you. I am commenting only because of her condition, not because I had any tummy syptoms. I had sores in my mouth, and food tasted weird. Beyond that, only the itching and rash.

    I hope they get your daughter's symptoms sorted out quickly!

    thats dreadful especially when she is so young. I had severe stomach cramps (but could be due to chromic gastritis I have) and very swollen lymph glands with fever  (looked I had mumps) which lasted for 3/4 weeks inspite of antibiotics . All this was a few weeks before I noticed the herald patches. Some reseach has linked PR with a strain of the herpes virus but the dermatologist said no one knows for sure why someone gets it
