John or anyone: I have a question - since I have read that idiopathic SFN can have been brought in by a virus is it at all possible that a flu shot or shingles shots can have a negative effect on our neuropathy? I am afraid of having either and my internist cannot say positively yes or no. I have not as yet asked my neuro. Helen

Hi @helennicola -- I have idiopathic small fiber PN and participated in a Mayo Clinic Flu study last year and received the shot. I've also had them in the past with no side effects. I haven't got the shingrix shot yet but am thinking about it. I am going to get my flu shot but have been a little lax taking the time to get it so far. Here's some information that may help alleviate (or not) your fears.
