I received my second Shingrix shot on May 5th 2022. Within a week I started having numbness, burning pain and pins and needles feeling in both of my legs. I also experience whole body tremors that wake me up quite often as well as full body vibration. I have a hard time sleeping. I also experience muscle weakness in my arms and legs. I have been like this for several months now. I shake a lot just trying to take care of my son and home. Unfortunately I have a Dr who after 3+ months and several appointments refused to do any testing to find out what is wrong. I have been to urgent cares and er with no answers. They always told me to talk to my Dr.
I have had blood work done several times and it’s always perfect. I am not diabetic. I told my Dr my symptoms every time I saw him. He never took me seriously. I am now in the process of finding a new Dr. I am a single older Mom of an 8 year old son and what happened after getting the shingles vaccine is debilitating. I am livid that I went from normal to this and May never be normal again. I now wish I had known about this horrible side effect. I would rather get shingles than what is happening to me now. I trusted my Dr when he said to get the shingles vaccine when I turned 50. I am the first person to advocate for vaccines. I have lost trust now. This vaccine is dangerous and debilitating. I wouldn’t wish this on anyone. I can’t do the things I love to do anymore. I highly regret getting this vaccine.
I received my doses from a local rite aid. No one explained these worst case side effects. I feel hopeless.
