Hello,
Somehow my stinging nettles have become diseased, rather disheartening after being told they don’t suffer from diseases! But I guess that’s just my luck. Has anyone else had this happen and had their nettles come back healthy the next year? Pictured are black spots with rings of yellow around them and some veinal necrosis.

That looks like black spot to me a fungal disease.

Here is a thread with some fungicide recipes:

I bet one of those will solve your problem.

This is usually cause by too much rain like we are having from all the hurricanes.
