Not sure where to post a new subject but, I have a question. I have LyP and also nerve problems. I've been advised to get a shingles shot asap. I'm worried about setting off the LyP even worse. A few weeks ago I had a bad allergic reaction to soemthing and the LyP flares up more now. Also, I'm under 60, so shingles shot not covered by insurance. Has anyone had any experience with getting shingles shot before age 60 and having it covered because of LyP diagnosis? Also, any bad LyP reactions to shingles shots? I reallly appreciate your responses.

@jgsounds I have neuropathy secondary to long term Type I diabetes. I do not have LyP, which I understand to be Lymphomatoid paplulosis. I cannot take the Shingles vaccine because I have an organ transplant. I suggest you discuss this with your physicians to get the best information. I am sorry, I have nothing for you.

Hi @jgsounds it must be frustrating have more flares up since that allergic reaction.
Since your doctor is suggesting you get a shingles vaccine, you may find these threads to be helpful.

I'd also like to introduce @mroreo126 and @2011panc as they may be of some help.
@jgsounds could I ask about the nerve problems you mentioned? Do they affect your LyP at all or are they two separate issues?
