Hi @stephaniet I am so sorry to hear of your negative experience with the Shingrix vaccine. Thank you for sharing to alert us of the potential health hazards. I am nearing 60 and will think twice about getting the vaccine. I share this information with my husband who was advised by his physician to get the vaccine. I have seen some folks get a Shingles outbreak. The rash is so painful. Neither my parents nor my older brother ever got the vaccine and no one in my immediate family had gotten the illness. I do believe my brother and I had the chicken pox during our childhood. My mother(90) always refused vaccines within the past 40 years. Can you share some of the symptoms the vaccine has left you with? Wish you well. Toni

My reactions:
-PN from knees and elbows to my extremities, constant”goose bumps“ and tingling. Numbness severe in one foot and intermittent in hand( on same side of body ).
-Anosmia, intermittent and varying In severity .
-Intermittent severe chills , no pattern.
-Memory loss, extreme short term within minutes of event, topic discussed or material read.
No long term loss , just the opposite; I can recollect specific details 50 years ago . Also things that were at the time and continue to be insignificant to me.
-Fatigue.
- Sleep patterns completely disrupted.
- Mood swings, often alarming .
- Loss of appetite. I can go a day or two and have no desire to eat. However it has not affected my weight.
- Extreme reactions to foods that I have eaten my entire life up to the vaccine date and now I have all types of skin itching and stomach issues as if I have consumed a toxin.

There are others . These are not psychological, I do feel them very specifically . I am an engineer by education and trade, my analysis is methodical and detailed . I did maintain a log initially and the
“Items” continue to expand.

It’s a complete quality of life change for me.
