WTF ever Beaches.

I finally got my shingles shot two weeks ago and glad it was on a Friday. The side effects were horrendous.

woke up Saturday and it felt like someone broke my arm, it was black and blue, my back was in the most incredible pain, joints hurt, headache.

That persisted an entire week!

Then my arm was red around the bicep and itchy.

This is why I will not take something that isn’t proven.

At least with this I could weigh the risks.

My second shingles shot also put me down for a day, and took about a week to normalize. First shot not too bad.

LOL! (I can laugh with you now)

Had the exact same symptoms, except that I didn't realize it was from the Shingles 2nd shot, having had herniated discs pressing on nerves.

Pain started between my shoulder blades and then 'traveled' later that week to my lower back....the most excruciating pains ever experienced. Thought I would die!

'Lost' the entire month of January with that. Had Cat Scan done...showed nothing and the effing staff/doctors at Kaiser Permanente never mentioned the Shingles vaccine may have been the culprit.
