The reporter considered the injection site pain, headache, fatigue, eye pain, mobility decreased, taste metallic, numbness facial, feeling cold, tingling sensation and weight gain to be related to Shingrix.  Additional details were reported as follows: The patient received Shingrix and did not had the paperwork in front of her thus she did not had the exact date of the shot or the lot number.

The patient had eye pain and experiencing shooting pains in her eyes that started after the Shingrix shot and was not every day but that the pain was very sharp and that sometime she cannot even open eyes because it was too painful to did so almost like something was in her eye but nothing is in her eye and never had eye pain prior before prior to getting the Shingrix shot. The patient had face events and was experiencing numbness in her face especially her lips and tongue and wants to feel her face again. The patient face feels cold but states she cannot really feel it anymore and face was numb and it was not that way before the Shingrix shot and tongue feels like it was tingling.  The patient would eat food to make the tingling go away but the food has a metallic taste and was trying different types of food and was gaining weight due to trying to resolve the problem and was not trying any brand new foods however.
