I’m so sorry and upset reading what happened to you after the Shingrix vaccine!
What doctor specialty do you see for this? How old are you?
In this Autoimmune Disease Support group I have read quite a few posts from members who have developed Autoimmune Disease after Shingrix or a flare up- Covid to a lesser degree.
Personally, I’m supposed to get the Shingrix vaccine but I’m concerned about getting a new autoimmune disease or flare up of the one I have.
Let’s hope you’ll get some posts from more members.

Hi @astaingegerdm

I have found this conversation most interesting. I also had the Shingrix vaccinations in 2019. One year after the second vaccination I developed Shingles. My case was considered mild in that there was just a small lesion on the waistband area of my back, but the Shingles pain was very bad and lasted for over two weeks. I tried the regular pain meds that are usually prescribed but eventually had to resort to prednisone and gabapentin. in order to get enough pain relief so I could sleep through the night.

When I had the first two COVID vaccines, I had the same pain (without the lesions) and had to go back to the prednisone and gabapentin in order to get pain relief. Just wanted to add this comment to the discussion as I can certainly understand your reluctance to get the Shingrix vaccine.
