Shingrix and peripheral neuropathy

My husband has developed peripheral neuropathy affecting his feet in the last half year, and when I looked up possible causes outside of diabetes (since he is not diabetic and quite healthy with a very healthy lifestyle), I saw infectious causes including viruses like the one which causes shingles. That piece of information immediately made me line up my husband’s receiving the 2-vaccine Shingrix vaccine series with the onset of his peripheral neuropathy...tingling in his feet after the first one and now after the second one the symptoms of numbness and tingling have worsened. How is your neuropathy now? Has it lessened with the passage of time or are you having to manage it with prescriptions or therapies?

Hello, I received my 1st Shingrix vaccine a few weeks ago. I started getting pins and needles in my hands and feet and even on my legs on occasion. I had a blood test for diabetes and for thyroid issues. Everything fine...Then I started thinking of what it could be and I now think it is related to the Shingrix vaccine. How is your husband? Bev
