DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 72-year-old woman, and I have developed painful burning and tingling in my feet over the past several months, to the point that I cannot sleep many nights. Unfortunately, I cannot tolerate gabapentin on an ongoing basis, and topical anesthetic creams only help a little. I do not have diabetes, but I do have significant scoliosis since childhood.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I recently read this morning that the shingles vaccine, Shingrix, "may have a protective effect against dementia." It goes on to say the studies that have been conducted so far are only observational. Is this something that you could address?
