Autoimmunity and PVNS

Several sufferers of PVNS can attest that they don't just suffer from PVNS. Some have thyroid or at times other rare autoimmune disorders.

In the past 3 years I have had 4 bouts of shingles. Each time in the same place (close to the PVNS located on my right knee). And each time it's worse.

I'm seriously considered getting a vaccine shot for it until I asked my doctor for a prescription.  He had a look of terror on his face and said those vaccines are hard to get approval for and are ONLY for people over 50.  I decided his reaction was disturbing enough I decided to pass on the vaccine.
