I’m more worried about my second shingles shot in three months. That really slams you.

In November 2019, I got my second shingles shot I was 81 and in fair shape. No problems with the first shot.

The next day I felt like two Pro linebackers tried to break my body into a couple of pieces.

I had a low temp and before the day was out I had urine in my blood. My RN, wife called up the big HMO, we belong to, and I went in to see the on call MD. She ordered an urinalysis and put me on 5 days of a quin-a-lone and told me to go their nearest hospital the next day for all types of tests.

On the way home after all the tests were normal, the on call Dr called and told us that every thing was normal and to stop at their clinic in our home town and get an Rx called in for 5 days of Bactrim DS.

The next day, my mild fever had gone away and I only felt like being hit by one linebacker. The next few weeks were a lot of with all types of tests being done. Finally, the most fun of all was a cystoscope. All tests were normal.

I had zero sense of smell and minimal taste and some lower GI problems.

The whole family celebrated Christmas at one our heirs’ home.

I apparently passed whatever I had to a college grandson and one of my male DNA sons, who was 53. He lost 30 pounds and was sick for about 4 weeks. The grand son was over it after new years. None of our female relatives got the whatever.

The son who got the whatever sees the same family doctor at the clinic. The doc told him that he probably had what I had.

Again, this was before we knew about CV19. However, the later Stanford study based on cultures in blood banks showed that the CV 19 was in the SF Bay area at that time.
