Has it abated or continued on? I had Shingrix shots and got PN about 6 weeks later. However this could be coincidence since doctors while surprised at the sudden onset think my pattern is based on diabetic neuropathy since it can occur in those even with relatively low A1Cs. I am waiting for science to catch up to the COVID shot causation (though Imnit an anti vaxxer). I always wondered about Shingrix and PN.

Hi Betty - My SFPN symptoms started in February 2023 (this year) - at least that's when I first noticed something was up. In the fall of last year (6 months before noticeable symptoms) I had my second Shingrix shot in Sept 2022, a flu shot in Oct 2022 and a COVID-19 booster in Oct 2022. And a Prolia shot in Dec 2022. Coincidence? Who knows. Did all that kick my immune system into high gear? Who knows. I'm still symptomatic and it's actually a bit worse now with the infernal itching/electrocution at night.
