I got the J&J shot and then the Mederma. I got sick after each one. I have had shingles two times since the Covid Vaccine. After second case of shingles, I waited 6 months to get the vaccine. After the Shingles vaccine, I had neck pain and the both shoulder hurt with pain and weakness going down my arm. I cried every night from the pain waking me up this summer and then I got the shingles blister again. I had Polymyalgia Rheumatica about 8 years ago. I am beginning to think that anyone with an autoimmune history should not have gotten the Covid Vaccines. Has anyone else had this problem?

This is scary; since, I too have autoimmune disorder; got the Moderna Covid vaccines back when they first came out; a year later got Covid (while masked always); and then, a year later, got shingles. Currently, what I'm battling, since I had it on my face -- R side; the mucus membranes mouth, nose, eye, upside-down L-shape into my temple -- is worse. After post-swelling and hideous pain and feeling sick for a month, I've been left with a crawling-itchy skin sensation where I wanna rip my face off. NOTHING alleviates this at all! I've been put back on anti-viral and gabapentin to 0% relief. I plaster my face with Aspercreme&Lidocaine and it does NOTHING! Nothing offers me relief. I take enough meds to sleep from about 9pm to 8am (my only way to get relief). My doctor/s have been no help.
Someone wrote about applying CBD oil to the skin, for relief.
Anyone?
