I wonder if we should circulate a letter to all of us with GD, sign it and send it to send it out to various agencies, including the Shingrix people, asking that there be at least some recognition of the connection between Shingrix and GD.

I would guess that GD is such a poorly-understood disease affecting too few people, and that the connection between the Shingles vaccine and GD is too speculative, for anyone to take any action.

I did tell my dermatologist about my reaction and he said there were similarities between GD and Shingles. He told me he would have warned me about it if I had checked with him first. I never read anything on the Shingrix literature about it trigger GD or triggering shingles in those of us with GD and never thought about asking my dermatologist firest.
