yes, I too began to have neuropathy in my hands and feet shortly after getting the Shingrix shot. I am extremely health conscious and try to do everything to stay healthy. This is very discouraging. Is this temporary? Or will it get worse?

Welcome @murrayd81, I'm sorry to hear your neuropathy started shortly after getting the Shingrix shot. It is definitely discouraging to say the least and unfortunately I don't think anyone can answer if it's temporary or if it will get worse. I'm glad you mentioned you are extremely health conscious and try to do everything to stay healthy. That in itself is a big plus along with staying as active as you can. You might find some helpful information on dealing with the neuropathy symptoms here - Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy - Living Well: https://www.foundationforpn.org/living-well/.

Have you reported the adverse side effects of the Shingrix vaccine to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS)? - https://vaers.hhs.gov/reportevent.html
