I have had Shingles twice since TM onset. Mine were only slightly painful and very itchy. My physicians will not give me the shingles vaccine, or any other vaccine for that matter. They fear it may make my immune system over react again. Lynne

If so, how did it affect you? The doctor was puzzled, saying my rash looked like shingles, but the pain description didn't sound typical. I have jolts of pain rather thanm deep, constant pain. The rash is on my waist. I wonder if T.M. makes things different. My face is quite flushed. After consulting another doctor who confirmed shingles, the first one prescribed medication.
