@bustrbrwn22 Jen, Personally I think you have enough going on, and I would not take a risk with getting the shingles vaccine. Just leave it alone for now. Lori Renee

@vustrbrwn22, If you know anyone who in their later years has had Shingles you would not wonder if you should get the Shingles Shots.. The Vaccines have gone through so much rigor to be tested and finally marketed .... the probability of good results is well established and documented .. go to your pharmacy, get the name of the company that developed the vaccine .. go online to communicate with that company to establish trust.. the anti-vaccine crowd are skeptics who want to blame government for most anything... but do not mess around ... get the shots or you may spend weeks, even months with needless pain...

Hey Rachel! Lichen Planuc can be caused by auto-immune Dz and intersitial cystitis, who knows. I get it. None of us want more pain!!!!! Gross understatemtent!!!!!!!!!! I think you've read my today's posts by now but just in case, here is the way I look at it. The shingles are brutal. They can be the worst pain ever and can last many, many months. Both the Shingles Shingrix and the influenza vaccines are inactivated aka dead. I got mine both on the same day without incidence. I got to wondering after I made the posts w/ this info, if it might be the medium the dead viruses are in that are causing people problems. My hubby had a terrible reaction to a different medication due to the medium it was in. Just a thought. For me, no, almost every decision regarding medications are a no-win anymore. Lot's of pray for direction! Hope you are having a good day. Warmest hugs, sunnyflower
