My father recently had the shingle shot vaccine and is now showing signs of bells palsy, I would like to add he has a severe allergy to dyes and I noticed looking at other web sites that he should not have had this shot due to this allergy. Please any information would be helpful.
I don't know anything about a paralyzed diaghram. I have had chicken pox as a child, got shingles (paralyzing shingles - could not walk) some years ago. I am having flair ups now and feel like I am going to get shingles again. Two years ago the shot came out, and although I was eligible through my RX plan to get the shot FREE, I ran away from it due to it not having had enough studies about it. I wanted to know, and they could not tell me, if it was good for someone who already had shingles. I feel helpless as to what to do. I had a prescription from an MD for a shot which I gave to Walgreens. I was afraid to take the shot and left the script at the pharmacy. It expired in 2009. I am now planning to take the shot. I can only hope and pray I do not get full blown shingles again. I would rather have another hysterectomy than have shingles again.
