Hi @johnnyd
Sorry to hear about your neuropathy from the shingles shot, or Shingrix. I am not familiar with those shots, have not had one myself. It's amazing all the things I am learning that can cause neuropathy. It certainly makes me much more wary of just blithely going forward into medical procedures, tests, whatever they want to throw at you. Welcome to Mayo Connect. You will find a lot of info on this site and a lot of compassionate and very well informed PN sufferers here. Can I ask, did you get diagnosed with PN based upon any testing by your doctor? What kind of symptoms have you had? And it sounds like the Gabapentin and Lyrica have been helping? What made you switch from Gaba to Pregaba? Did Gabapentin stop working? Best, Hank

Guys, anyone who experiences neuropathy from a shingles vaccine absolutely should report it to the FDA. This is considered a serious adverse reaction to the FDA. IF YOUR REPORTED THE REACTION TO YOUR MD. BY LAW THEY SHOULD HAVE REPORTED IT TO THE COMPANY THAT MAKES THE VACCINE.. I worked for a major pharmaceutical company for over 30 years, and have reported many adverse reactions to my company listed reaction in the PI and those not listed in the PI. The FDA will notify the company of the report, and if enough come on, the will initiate an investigation.
