Shingles shots

Posted by jammer @jammer, Jul 17, 2019

Has anyone had a shingles shot while having MAC? I am thinking of getting shingle shot but am worried about problems since I have MAC

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the MAC & Bronchiectasis Support Group.

Thank you Irene.
I took the medication at 3:00P.M. now 6:00P.M. and I feel some relief or I'm not concentrating on it. Time will tell. Hopefully the dermatologist will give me five minutes to look see tomorrow.
Yes, after giving much, much thought I do believe it was the stress, for me, of being in the sun a good few days ago and what I was involved with while in the sun. I have noticed in the last year or so that my legs will begin to develop a burning sensation after a bit of time in the sun. So it also could be an allergic reaction coupled and followed by shingles???????????
I need to mention the burning sensation to the dermatologist, I have failed to mention that to her, failed to remember.

It seems unlikely that it could be shingles over and over and since you had the vaccine especially unlikely. Really sounds like you have developed an allergy to the sun. How can they know it is shingles. There is no test for that is there?

Thanks Irene.....per my visit to ER last evening the Nurse Practitioner, provider, decided it is a flare up due to inflammation. I posted Inflammation Rash just a few minutes ago to see what others might have to say. I did mention the sun in my post after reading and thinking, so you have put on that great thinking cap of yours to help me....thank you.
I have a text and call into my dermatologist.
