AGreed!
And my TM struck twice -- I walked away the first time after a long
weekend in the hospital and the second time -- a month later -- i was
knocked down. I suspect that the steroids left me open to
greater attack from the unidentified underlying cause.
I had a very, very mild case of TM but it persisted. Stupidly I did
not go to the doctor immediately but waited for weeks and weeks. I
was asked the same questions...vaccines, bug bites...this was before
I was actually diagnosed with TM. I was also rather surprised that
my neurologist actually asked me if it was possible that someone
could be poisoning me. That was a bit freaky to be asked that.
Ultimately it was concluded that mine was also idiopathic. The
months prior to my coming down with it I suffered a long bout of
Bronchitis, followed by a miscarriage which was followed by a tooth
problem that I ended up getting a root canal on. Who knows if any of
that contributed to it.
Anyway, as far as a shingles vaccine? I personally would not get
one. I never get the flu shot either or the pneumonia. No thanks.
That being said, I would really, really hate to come down with
Shingles. Yikes!

I did a lot of tromping around, gathering weeds for papermaking and gardening
before TM struck,
A Lyme sufferer told me theat most Lyme goes undiagnosed and unrecognized
and suggested that my idiopathic TM might be Lyme's.
