Damn, that stinks Bob. Our insurance won't cover it until you are 50, but I'll be getting it very shortly after....family history. Well, I hope they get it under control for you, and vaccinated as soon as you can. Good luck, sir.

Bumping. Got my first (of two) shingles shot today. Let's hope this works and I never go through what I've seen others go through... I get the second in two months. Oh joy!

Give a few weeks to heal and then get the vaccine. Now that you've had them you risk it over again. Not sure it's fun enough to do more than once!
Go Chiefs. |
Does that stuff really exist? I figured it was just another scam by the drug companies.

It got so bad and far into my right eye they were scared I’d get encephalitis of the brain and/or completely lose sight in that eye... missed an entire month of work, and still have nerve pains on that side of my head that the doc said might never go away Oh yeah, it’s amazingly real |
Both Mom and Dad had it, and it is as bad as you've heard. I got the old vaccine, Zostervax or something like that, and now the new stuff, Shingrix, is on back order. But its supposed to be better.

It's a two shot series. Second shot is given 2-6 months after the first. |

Oh, and this is NOTHING compared to the gamma globulin shots the Navy used to love to pump into us. Those ****ers! LMAO |
My buddies wife is a nurse and during a conversation she said about the only thing she fears more than shingles is cancer. She's shared horror stories with us. When I hit the big 50 I think I'll be getting immunized for my birthday present.
