All serious adverse reactions to a vaccine should be reported and taken very seriously, especially by the pharmaceutical company who developed it; versus a coverup. My goal is that what has happened to me will not happen to anyone else. Post vaccination small fiber neuropathy should be added to the list of potential side effects for the Shingrix vaccine. I would like to employ any opportunity that could lead to this end. Additionally, appropriate research should be done which could lead to a potential screening blood test to identify people who would be at risk. I am personally not going to receive any other vaccination which lacks a minimum of a 5 year clinical history.

I am unfamiliar with the likelihood of getting neuropathy from a shingrix shot. I do know it is a common side effect of chemo for breast cancer. Before chemo, not one person affiliated with the hospital told my wife she had like a 25% chance of developing neuropathy from the chemo. Not even in the class beforehand to prepare the cancer patient for what to expect. After it did start to develop one of her doctors said "Oh, that will go way as soon as you stop the chemo", which of course was a lie. So if they will do it to get you to do chemo they will likely do it for anything. Just my 2 cents worth.
