Replies to "Has anyone had positive experience with new shingles shot and peripheral neuropathy"
I had PN for 5 years before getting my 1st Shingrex vaccine in early 2021. Because I opted to get my first two Covid vaccines scheduled after that, my 2nd Shingrex shot was 6 months after the 1st, but within the 2-6 months apart guidance from the CDC. Anyway, all 4 shots caused arm pain as normal, but I will say the 2nd Shingrex vaccine added more body pain, fatigue, and frustration for almost a week. However, it didn’t compare to having actual shingles 8 months earlier, so it was a breeze by comparison. I saw no change in my PN after any of those 2021 vaccines; my PN fluctuates day-to-day between tough or great days, and I saw no change in that. That was my experience anyway, if you choose to get them, I wish you the best!
Welcome @wmarkham, I have had peripheral neuropathy for 20+ years, no pain, just the numbness and some tingling. I had the new Shingrix shot earlier this year along with the first COVID booster and the only side effects were the normal sore arm and a little fatigue.
Have you had the Shingrix vaccine along with other side effects?
