Has anyone had severe side effects after receiving the shingles vaccin

Posted by seven11vaxhurtme @seven11vaxhurtme, Jan 25, 2025

After experiencing shingles several times in my life I decided to get the shingles vaccine last year in 2024. 5 months afterwards I was diagnosed with shingles on the inside of my body in the mid bladder area with pain wrapping around my left side to my back. I am currently diagnosed with PHN the aftermath of shingles. I did some research and found its a low percentage side effect from the vaccine. I am in tormenting pain and there is no cure just meds with no end in site.

I got the Shingles vaccine on May 12, 2025 and immediately started having numbness in both legs and feet. It is 3 months later and it has not gotten better at all. It is called neuropathy and the Doctor has just brushed it off as old age? I am 60

@kelimiller50 my doctor did the same thing. I switched doctors and am pushing to get this properly diagnosed. Even going as far as getting 2nd opinions, and with fibro diagnosis they are claiming it's the fibro and not the injection.

I had fairly bad fatigue for 6 months after the second shingles jab. That's all I can think it was caused by.
