Yep...I am more concerned with shingles than I am with covid.
Being in good health...if covid hits, prob won't be bad Shingles will cause terrible pain for weeks...even if in good health. I hope it wasn't something I said that caused the thread to be removed. Would be nice to see a reason....and learn by it.

Get off my lawn!

My wife and I got the two dose shingles shot last year. The first shot was not bad, the second one left my arm sore for a few days.
Way better than a dose of shingles. My mom got shingles and said that was 10 times worse than childbirth.

I had shingles a few years back across my mid section, and sides...evidently it must have been a mild case, because I continued working, and had minor discomfort (disclaimer; I have an unusually high tolerance for pain). I wish there was some sort of standard measuring scale for pain levels, not just what someone says.

As I said in the other thread, Walgreens has Shingrix. With even my crappy health insurance last year it was "no cost" to me.
I have to get the second dose 2 weeks after second Moderna dose

I hope my WD40 comment wasn't out of line.
The vaccine seems safe. Interesting.

I had the first shingles shot in December and going next week for my second "booster". I got my flu shot and the doc suggested the shingles shot. At first I declined but he told me it is one of the best preventative vaccines out there.

I'm kinda wondering why they don't put a two shot vaccine in both arms instead of one.
Maybe no diff..but would be worth seeing.

Hey guys, pay attention to the shingles warnings. There are many ways the disease displays itself. In my case (last year), I noticed I lost some hearing ability in my left ear one morning. The next day I had sores on the left side of my and head (including my scalp). The sensitivity was incredible; couldn't even comb my hair for a week. The thing is, I lost 20% of my hearing ability in my left ear permanently. Doctors were worried it could migrate to my eyes and cause blindness. I took anti-viral meds and prednisone for inflammation; I got through it in a couple of weeks, but, as I said, still the hearing I lost is gone for good. DON'T TAKE CHANCES. Get your vaccine shots. You never know...

I had a mild case of Shingles two years ago. Got on acyclovir within a day or two of noticing the rash and it was not bad at all. An itchy rash that lasted for 4 or 5 days.

One of my past girlfriends would get shingles. After seeing her symptoms I knew I wanted no part of it. I got the vaccine.
