Grover's Disease tied to Shinglix Vaccine

I have had GD for over ten years. Comes and goes throughout the year but my symptoms are usually with me nine months out of the twelve.
I asked my dermatologist about Rinvoq about three months ago and he said to give it a try. He gave me two weeks worth of samples. Within three hours of taking the Rinvoq my GD symptoms were gone. I thought I had found the miracle drug I have longed for. Three weeks later I got a very severe case of the shingles. The Rinvoq representative told me to stop taking the Rinvoq. Meantime, it’s been three months and still have effects of the shingles but believe it or not I have not had any GD symptoms since taking Rinvoq.
I definitely think there is a connection between the shingles and Grover’s Disease. What it is for someone much smarter than me to figure out.

I got my shingles vaccine about 5 years ago, and consequently came down with GD. There have been others on this site who have had the same experience. Of course, when I called the Shingrix hot line and asked if they had any reports of itching as the result of the vaccine, they said no, Now, the people who manufacture the vaccine are advertising all over media selling it but of course there is no mention of the possibility of getting GD as a side effect like many other medicines now do with respect to the possible side effects due to taking them.
