I took L-lysine for shingles back in the eighties. Also, gave to my child for chicken pox. Need to take for weeks after symptoms abate.

Had shingles on my face in 2015. Pretty uncomfortable. But shingles was a stroll in the park when post herpetic neuralgia showed up after. Would go into a closet every hour or so to scream my lungs out when the attacks came. I still feel the effects 10 years later.

I have never had chicken pox, nor have i had measles. And was in direct contact with people and kids thst had them.

But i sure got whooping cough. And i was vaxed for that. That was a SOB that one. Dont cough, dont sneeze, dont do anything or you’d lose your wind.

My wife had shingles and was in the hospital for a week. Her doctor was a nationally recognized bone marrow transplant specialist. He did transplants back in the 80’s At her next appointment he looked at her record and said she had dodged a bullet. He said it was spreading. It could have affected her heart, brain and other organs. I have known other people who have needed more than a year to recover.

The general consensus is Shingles flare-up is a known complication or side effect of the covid jab. Great question, so who the hell knows what to do now.

I can tell you that you do not want to get a case of Shingles, my dad was one of those old school SOBs who never complained about anything too much. He was in so much pain I couldn’t believe it, this was about 2009.

I assume I had Chickenpox as a kid. Like you I had the older shingles one shot. I’ve been reminded, I should take the new 2 shot version. After Covid I also will avoid shots....but, my dad had shingles on half of his head, it was terrible. So, I got the first shot and it didn’t really bother me. The second shot is several months after the first....the arm hurt a lot for the first and second day. Then ok. No other side effects yet.

“Per the outlet, he has been resting “

From what I’ve heard, “resting” must mean “smoking pot”.

I had chicken pox as a child. Right now I have a severely herniated L5 S1 disc with intense sciatic so I imagine it is like that (cattle prod like pain)
I’ve been hesitant about getting the shingles vaccine due to the scamdemic.

Shingles vaccine is 7th highest in reports of Adverse events in the VAERS database (FDA/CDC) established about 30 years ago, with 24,592 reports of Adverse Events post Shingles vaccination since Jan 2021. 206 of those adverse events were life threatening, 116 of shingles patients were reported to have died (in past 4 years) but there is no investigation on the part of the CDC to indicate whether the vax caused the harm. (This is true of Covid 'vaccines' too. CDC says no proof and no harm)
These shingles numbers may seem small to some, but only about 1% of post ‘vaccination’ adverse events are ever reported to the CDC and even then, they may not be published. So it's reasonable to consider the actual number is far higher. During Covid vax distribution, Dr. McCullough said it used to be that 50 deaths got a product pulled from market to search for any causal relationship, and/or a black box warning on the product.

My main concern is that Fauci said that the mRNA was so successful that going forward, all vaccines in the US would use mRNA. They aren’t going to tell us which ones because of ‘vaccine hesitancy’, right? So when I looked over the adverse events reported for the shingles vax in the past 4 years, the most commonly reported symptoms seemed similar to Covid post vax symptoms (my opinion, fever, rash, exhaustion, headache etc.). There may be no relationship, there may be a relationship. I don’t know.

I just checked adverser events reports from 2022 January to present for Shingles vax, and even then, 100 cases of death were reported in VAERS, not proven causally but simply reported post shingles vax.

20 of those death occurred the day of shingles vax
22 of those deaths were 1 day after shingles vax
5 deaths 2 days post vax
2 deaths 3 days post vax
2 deaths 4 days post vax
3 deaths 5 days post vax
1 death 6 days post vax
1 death 7 days post vax
0 deaths 8 days post vax
2 deaths 9 days post vax
3 deaths days 10 to 14 post vax.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It’s not proof that the vax caused the death or had some contribution, so you have to ask yourself how likely it was that this number of persons coincidentally died, particularly the distribution of deaths - a total of 44 died within 0 days and 1 day of having the shingles vax and the number tapers off over time. If deaths were random, wouldn’t the deaths be somewhat evenly distributed?

To me, the stats indicate STAY AWAY. STAY FAR AWAY.
Maybe give JFK Jr. time to clean things up. For me, the medical regime denies all reality about the Covid ‘vax’ so I have no reason to believe what they say about anything else. For those who already received the shingles vax, I'm glad you weren't harmed! I just wouldn't risk it myself.

“What’s the general consensus on the Shingles vaccine? I am especially cautious after the covid disaster.”

Unlike COVID which is now little more than a mild flu, shingles are no joke. They are extremely painful, and can linger for months. And the older you are the worse the shingles. Get the vaccine.

Cure shingles without vax? My story...FWIW......I had what appeared to be a case of Internal shingles starting on Jan 1st. It was on lower spine/lumbar area and uncomfortable, but not super painful. Called my fave doc, who said take Vitamin C, 4000 mg every hour, till diahrhhea starts...then back off to where it stops. Keep that level up till it is basically gone. Also, take quercitin, zinc, and Lysine daily. (I added in 12.g ivermectin daily.) On Jan 3rd, looked like it was going to burst into sores...next day appearance was better. Continued to improve until it was gone probably first week of February. No, I have had no Shingles vax. No covid shots.

Me either. My doctor recommended it. He also recommended the muhmuhmuhmy corona jab. Passed on that too, no wuflu.
He’s a good doctor, but I don’t trust a system that urges us to nag our doctors to prescribe us medicines they advertise.

The second time I had shingles I was prescribed Valtrex and Gabapentin. The nerve pain vanished in less than 24 hour.

I've known people who had shingles. They ALL say "run, don't walk, to the pharmacist for your shingles shot!"

When I was a kid I had chickenpox, and everything else: mumps, measles, German measles, flu, strep throat, the works! Never caught whooping cough, thank God. I had the polio vaccine when it was first available as a young kid. I'm THANKFUL for that one. I was always scared of being imprisoned in an iron lung. I also was inoculated against smallpox and TB.

I'm not against vaccines, just witches brew vaccines cooked up in a meth pot over a long weekend.

I got shingles in the upper left forehead area. While it didn’t hurt (unaccountably) after the first coupla minutes, shingles eventually got into my eye.

Get the vaccine.

I picked this little tidbit off of a Bing search:

“Several companies are researching the potential use of mRNA vaccines for shingles. Pfizer and BioNTech are partnering on an mRNA shingles vaccine, just as they did with vaccines for the flu and COVID-19.

A major advantage of the technology is the ability to develop new vaccines quickly. The fact that mRNA vaccines are synthetic and don’t rely on actual virus particles also means they can be quickly produced in large numbers.”

From:
https://www.healthline.com/health/is-the-shingles-vaccine-an-mrna-vaccine#is-shingrix-an-m-rna-vaccine

The last time I was offered a shingles shot I asked if it was mrna and I could not get a straight answer. So I refused to get one.

Quick production of mrna vaxes by Pfizer means they can kill more people faster while they get richer.

Hitler and Heinrich Himmler are likely seething with jealousy in Hell for not thinking of using vaccines for secretly killing people and getting filthy rich at the same time.
