My Internal Medicine doc wants me to get every vaccine made. I really don't think she takes into consideration the affects that it might have on patients with TM. I will call my neurologist to get her recommendation and then make up my mind.

They are all afraid it will put my immune system into over drive again and cause a flare up or possible recurrance. So none for me, even though I have had shingles twice since getting TM and they are definately not fun.

I'm 60 and last week for my annual physical, my doctor recommended that I get the shingles vaccine. I didn't get, because I wanted to ask the TM group and the medical people on the list.
