Shingrix and peripheral neuropathy

I now have burning feet and legs after the second Shingrix injection. I had general dizziness first for a month and now what appears to be peripheral neuropathy. I have my first consultation with a neurologist on Oct 6, 2020. I am wondering how everyone else is doing. How many out there have had this kind of a reaction to the Shingrix. I filled a formal report.

@dont I’m sorry you are going through this. I never thought of actually filing a report with the FDA as I read all these terrible stories. I hope people are doing that. Can they give you anything to deal with these terrible after effects?

Hi @dont
Your Mayo name of "dont" must stand for "don't get a shingrix shot". I can not believe all the odd things that seem to be causing people to develop neuropathy these days. It's becoming an epidemic of sorts. I don't remember this happening to people back 50 or 60 years ago. I wonder what gives? All kinds of things are causing peripheral neuropathy now. Weird.

Dear DonT, I am so very sorry to hear what happened to you. Did you check to see if there is already a class action lawsuit about this? I had my 2nd shot recently without any side-effects thank God. I will keep you in my prayers and pray that you get relief!! Warmest regards, Sunnyflower @bustrbrwn22
