Thanks for that. I’ll keep that in mind.

Have you had other vaccinations that also trigger Graves’? I don’t get the flu shot out of concern of triggering Graves’, and I’m hesitant as I age to get the Shingles vaccination.

I’m just now recovering from Shingles on my face, in my nose, mouth and throat, and eye. My thyroid was irradiated years ago, so no trigger. This was the most painful event of my long life, nothing else even comes close to the agony of this nerve pain in my head and neck. Two months after the lesions appeared I still have itching in my nose and face that can’t be scratched—just inappropriate nerve firing. I beg you to consider the Shingrix vaccine! Graves can remiss, but it often returns.
