MY sister and her husband and several of their friends have been getting a shot for shingles.She wants me to consider getting one too.The cost is between $200 and $250. Takes just one shot and she reports no side effects. I know that shingles can be quite painful.Have not had an appt. with my LLDD yet..But am wondering if any of you here on the forum have any info??????? Thankyou very much, Bartonella Blues

Do a Google search on "shingles vaccination" and all sorts of links pop up. Sounds interesting, though I'd be concerned about stressing an already Lyme-stressed immune system with more stuff from a vaccine.

Is it for a current case or a vaccine?? Make sure it does not contain any steroids or mercury...like thimerosol.
I wouldn't do it myself.

Funny, someone mentioned that to me today too.
I'd be afraid to try it. Probably too late anyway -
I had Shingles this summer. Probably not a really bad case but it was no worse than some of the other stuff the Lyme put me through! hats
