Shingrix and peripheral neuropathy

@jesfactsmon @rwinney Thanks for the chemo feedback Hank. I have had friends who went through chemotherapy and not one of them mentioned neuropathy as a possible side effect. I have to believe the medical community is really not warning people strongly enough about this possible side effect and based on the high level of pain associated with it as evidenced by these postings. Wrong, wrong, wrong.

There are dangers involved with the handling of chemotherapy. Therefore, it can only be administered by nurses who receive the specialty training certificate. You would think the information of neuropathy and the drug would be known as a warning. 🤨 Toni

It is not PC to say this, but here goes: Chemo, regardless how many or few are helped by it (a separate discussion) means, nonetheless, big $$$ to the drug companies. I believe they pressure the med. community to keep neuropathy hidden so people aren't scared away from doing the chemo. By putting 2 and 2 together you can see clearly what happens. Sad. Hank
PS:I know, it might not be true, but it sure makes sense.
