Grover's Disease tied to Shinglix Vaccine

I absolutely agree with, "correlation is not the same as causation." I came down with GD three months after getting my second singles vaccine, likely just a coincidence. However, I've had shingles and would prefer to go through shingles again than live with GD for the rest of my life. If I could do it again I would not get the shingles vaccine.

I would say that it depends on how severe your shingles outbreak is. In my case, I spent a week in the hospital on a morphine pump when shingles covered the entire right half of my torso. Then I suffered from post-herpetic neuralgia (nerve damage), which itself is very painful, for almost two years afterward. Shingles was by far the most painful medical condition I have ever experienced. My GD is awful, but I wouldn't trade it for shingles.

No coincidence. It happened to me as well as a number of other bloggers on this site . It does appear that there is some link between the Shingrix vaccine and G. D.
