I had a very, very mild case of TM but it persisted. Stupidly I did not go to the doctor immediately but waited for weeks and weeks. I was asked the same questions...vaccines, bug bites...this was before I was actually diagnosed with TM. I was also rather surprised that my neurologist actually asked me if it was possible that someone could be poisoning me. That was a bit freaky to be asked that. Ultimately it was concluded that mine was also idiopathic. The months prior to my coming down with it I suffered a long bout of Bronchitis, followed by a miscarriage which was followed by a tooth problem that I ended up getting a root canal on. Who knows if any of that contributed to it. Anyway, as far as a shingles vaccine? I personally would not get one. I never get the flu shot either or the pneumonia. No thanks. That being said, I would really, really hate to come down with Shingles. Yikes!
