Shingrix and peripheral neuropathy

Hi Everyone, I had someone call me from the FDA this morning. (I had called and left a message asking for a call back) I am going through the same symptoms as so many of you have. He was asking me if I had sent in a report to VAERS regarding the Shingles vaccine and what it has done to me and so many others. I was literally just submitting my report and told him so. He suggested that everyone that I come in contact with via, comment/messaging boards, any friends or family that have had adverse reactions to the Shingles vaccine to please file a report. I feel that there is strength in numbers. We need to to let them know what the shingles vaccine has stolen from us. It will continue to happen if nothing is done. This is NOT okay. I am spreading the word. It took me 4+ months to and a bad Dr. to figure out what caused my symptoms. I am new here so I was unable to post the link to VAERS. Report an Adverse Event to VAERS can be googled.

I have a body with rare and very rare health conditions. On 9-14-22, I went to Walmart to get my annual Flu shot from my favorite pharmacist. He has guided me thru many serious health problems and knows all about them. We discussed the Shingles shot and he recommended I get it because I’m 79yo with a very weak immune system and a heart that is compromised because of a 1 in a million heart birth defect. I was scared of getting the shot since I have so many allergic reactions including antibiotics.
So on Tuesday 9-20-22, I received the shingles shot and the disaster started. I’ve suffered thru 3 heart attack that almost killed me, so I know how I feel when one is about to hit or lead up to it. Within 15 minutes of getting the shot, I did some shopping, checked out and waited for my bus. That’s when it happened, I started to feel pressure on the entire middle of my chest, just like heart attack #1 started in the cardiology recovery area after having a stent put in. I have to take the bus to get home and the level of pressure increased to a 5-6 level pain on the bus as Palpitations started. I got sick to my stomach, got dizzy and felt like I was going to pass put. By the evening, the fever up to 100.4, sore throat, coughing and could barely walk. My new PCP is on vacation and the pharmacist doesn’t work until tomorrow. The above symptoms only worsened with shots of heart pain in the 7/8 range, constant fever, palpitations for the last 8 days. I’m really getting scared because my heart is so weak and can’t take much more punishment from a damn vaccine for the chickenpox I had as a kid and the shingles about 20 years ago. I’m so weak and frustrated because I didn’t expect this kind of reaction. I’m tempted to call VARES. I have blood turning into cancer, I don’t need being killed by some vaccine shot. @becky1024
