Anyone have any success with going to an LC clinic?

I’ve read that a large observational study of U.S. adults aged 50 and older found people who had COVID-19 were 15% more likely to develop shingles within six months, and that the risk went up to 21% for those hospitalized with COVID. Is this real, and is it something clinics are actively addressing when treating or monitoring patients with shingles or post-herpetic neuralgia?

This has been true for me. I have had two types of herpes virus outbreaks. The last one was two days ago when I was in the ER for stroke symptoms.
The first time I got Ramsay Hunt was shortly after I first contracted COVID. At that time, I was fully vaccinated. I don't think it has ever left my system. I had no lesions. It was internal.
I have been crippled by fatigue and loss of QOL.
I've had severe pain to the point where I had to have a hip replacement, which only pushed me down further. I have been nailed to the bed since that surgery in December 2024.

People, can I just say, GET your Shingles vaccine!
Covid-19 or not, shingles is a very painful, difficult to treat disease, so there's no excuse to not get the effective vaccine for it!
