How would your system over react? I'm usually the first to say no to vaccines, but where shingles are concerned, doesn't this become a quality of life issue? I'd probably risk another relapse over the idea of getting shingles.

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.

    They now have shingles vaccines.  I've had one already.

        I had shingles soon after the onset of tm........not
        uncommon........luckily
        for me, the shingles were on my upper legs and bottom which
        were still
        totally numb!!

        Has anybody out there had shingles?  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.
