The first time I got TM I had Hep B vaccine series and a flu shot before onset. Second round of symptoms was after tetanus shot. This last flare up or reoccurance was that since I was a diabetic nurse working first line in the H1N1 "epidemic" I had H1N!. Then pneumovax because I was a diabetic. The following all it was tetanus shot because I kept scraping myself up outside without feeling it, then another flu shot when I thought I was going back to work. The rest is history. I didn't work for the next year. Didn't walk much either. First dr told me "NO more vaccines" Now they all say it's okay. Now, if a neuro named John Hopkins from Michigan...they seem to keep it in the family...says no more vaccines, but the young evidence based hot shots reading their computer screens say....all the evidence it might cause this is purely antedotal....go ahead and take them, and I get sicker than a dog....what do you think I believe? Did I mention I had an insidious onset the first time. The kept telling me I was going to break out in shingles any day. Never happened. Just burned along every dermatone in my body from the bra strap down. I could've taken a felt tip marker and drawn this picture.

Two years have passed and my wife is worrying I might get another bout of shingles that would result in more TM damage. Should I get a Shingles vaccine shot or is that risking another attack of TM? The shot is $235.00 and we have been saing for it but now I am wondering what the risk is. Please contribute your knowledge. Jim
