If you only got one shot, you didn’t get the newest shingle shots. It is a series of 2 shots.
2 Years ago in November, I got my 2nd Shingles shot. I had all of your symptoms and a few more. Our big PPO spent a fortune running every test they had to find out what was wrong with me.
They came up with nothing!
A friend in medical care as a MD provider believes that I was one of the first people to get Covid in our area combined with the Shingles side effects. It basically ruined our Family Thanksgiving and Christmas that year.
Whatever I had was apparently passed on to a 50 something son, who had my symptoms and lost 30 pounds. A grand son apparently got it and was sick for a couple of days.
None of the women in our life had anything.
The good news on my Shingles adventure. I apparently got the Covid arm aka herpes zoster rash post Pfizer #1 Covid
shot. It went away after 2-3 days treatment with topical. Another friend got the rash on his stomach. They took pics and by the time he got in for a treatment shot for the Shingles it was disappearing. He had his Shingles shots, 2 years ago.
Re my Shingles Shot adventure: A retired Navy RN, was in charge of giving the scarce Shingles shots at our local PPO. She warned my wife, an RN, and I not to take the 2nd shot at the same time due to potential problems.
It was suggested that my wife should wait 7-10 days after my 2nd shot. That RN underestimated my reactions to the 2nd Shingles shot.
After my ‘love affair’ with my second Shingles shot, my wife has decided to wait awhile.
Yep.
I took Shyngrix which is the newest one.
