Shingrix and peripheral neuropathy

I have replied to your posting from 2/4/19, previously, but I think it is time to revisit this. Three days after my 1st Shingrix shot on 3/12/19, I developed, what I thought was Restless Leg Syndrome, but after many tests - EMG among others/appointments/consults, I have now been diagnosed with Sensory Neuropathy of unknown cause. I will not get the 2nd Shingrix shot. I take 25 mg Amitriptyline in the evening and 600 mg Gabapentin at bedtime. I sleep well with these medications. I am 78 now and do not want to change my regime. I would like to hear about others who may have information linking Shingrix and neuropathy.

Just to clarify some points. I am NOT an anti-vacser but rather an RN with 57 yrs in the profession. I did not make this decision capriciously. What I would like is information about how to find a site for Class Action Lawsuit or Tort for those who have experienced unusual and challenging outcomes from Shingrix. I know many who have had NO side effects from Shingrix. I also know I am putting myself at some risk of Shingles, which I had in 2011 following the first shingles shot in 2009. I had a mild case then. Shingrix can have a nerve root influence. Also, Chicken pox has a nerve root link. My doctors here in Albuquerque, NM have not been able to give me guidance about a Class Action Lawsuit of Tort.
