Shingles Vaccine

[charlie12]

Got my 2nd Shingles vaccine shot Monday at the VA.
1st shot was nothing but a little sore arm.
2nd shot was sore warm arm and that night temp went to 99.9 and never higher for about 36 hours. Back down to about 97.6 like it always is.

Still better than Shingles from what my friends have been through

I had the shingles last year. Got to dr fairly early and was given anti viral medicine. Still, one of the top five worst experiences of my life.

Good idea getting the vaccine.

Got my 2nd shot Tuesday and arm is still a little sore today. Had a mild case of the shingles a few years ago and that is something you don't want to go through.

Both my Grandfathers were fairly tough and the only thing that brought tears to their eyes was shingles. Get the vaccine.

Had shingles on my face a couple months ago. Yep, miserable..

Got the vaccinations last year . I've heard too many horror stories about Shingles .

I used to own a bread route.. Pretty physical job. I got shingles and didn't know it. The pain was under my arm left chest muscle area. I worked for 2 weeks just thinking I pulled a muscle. I realized I was slowly upping the advil with out results. Still dismissed it. I was on my way to baton rouge and the pain got so bad I thought I was having a heart attack. **** had me tearing me up and couldn't breathe.

I get to touro ER, Dr lifts my shirt "you have shingles! Pretty rare for a 35yo to have shingles but you have it."

My mother got the shingles vaccine. She said it was one of the best decisions she ever made. I need to look into getting my shingles vaccine in the future.

I got the vaccine because my wife had them and Terry Bradshaw told me to.

I got the shingles vaccines last year. My Dad had it and was miserable.

Had shingles a year ago. You can tell it’s getting better when the pain goes from a dagger in you to just feeling like somebody’s burning you with a cigarette. Shingles shot was no picnic, but I’ll go to some lengths to avoid the full Monty again.

I had a shingles infection a few years ago at 48. Mine was mild, but it was still very... "annoying" would be a good way to put it. I was diagnosed on December 24th at an urgent care clinic. My jackass brother in law, who relishes in pointing out the misfortunes of others, declared I had "shingle bells" the entire holiday time. Yes, he's normally a good guy. Yes, I still like him. Yes, I will get him back one day.

And sadly you don't qualify for the vaccine till you turn 50!

Got shingles vax last year. Both shots gave me flu like symptoms and kept me down for about 18 hours once the symptoms hit about 8 hours after the shot.

So you let the liberals inject you with their agenda?





JK, shingles sucks..... and I had it easy. Look forward to that vaccine.

I will never get the Covid vax unless forced to do so. I will however be getting that shingles vax in October when I hit the big 5-0.

Had the shingles when I was 14, many moons ago. Covered my left side from the center of my chest to my back bone, shoulder to my hip. Scarred for life (scars I have resemble burn scares) and caused nerve damage on that side.

Will say they hurt like he77, and laid me up for about 3 weeks.

Am over 50 but doubt i will get the vaccine, though I’m sure treatment has improved in the last 40 plus years.

My wife and I both got the single dose vaccine years ago, then about 2 years ago got the Shingrex. As a pharmacist and she as a nurse have seen numerous people with shingles and never want to endure that. I just wish everyone would get the Covid vaccine, side effects and discomfort from it are less than the Shingrex.
