Next time I stop by, I'm going to tell the pharmacist, all the vaccine does is lessen they symptoms. I got it last year, and I don't wish it on anyone.
The doc at Urgent Care diagnosed it immediately: "Hello, you've got shingles!" He's the one that told me the limitations of the "vaccine", after I told him I had the two shots two years ago.
My "mild case" left me with nerve damage on my forehead to my scalp, and I've been seeing an eye doctor for over a year. My left eye is better, but there's still a bit of fog in that eye.
How long did you have the shingles before you saw the Doctor? Did the Doctor put you on Valtrex?
I work in health care, and have seen some bad cases of shingles, but...the case my mother got before she passed away was so bad it was frightening to me-I got the vaccination voluntarily on that the first chance I could...even if all it does is “lessen symptoms”...her case was that bad.
Of course, it isn’t one of those mRNA vaccine abominations, but...I am willing to take that risk anyway.
This is how it should work. People should be able to make their own risk assessments and make a personal choice.
My (now former) doctor told me to go get the shingles vaccine a couple of years ago. A few seconds after the needle left my arm, I got a feeling of warmth on my upper lip. Seconds later, my throat started to close up. I managed to croak, "Need Benedryl" to the pharmacist, and they gave me some. It took about 20 minutes for these anaphylactic shock symptoms to abate. Scary! I just loved it when this doctor later told me not to take the second of the 2 shot series. Thank you Dr. Obvious!
You got shingles because your immune system is failing.
Had shingles too. No Vax. It was during a particularly exhausting period of work where 60 - 70 hours per week was common, with some of that being 30 straight hours. The work wasn’t rote, it took thinking and action. Stress tore me down after years of dealing with it without consequence. I am not superman after all - shocked me.
Now I have tingling that never goes away - nerve damage. I’ve throttled back as much as I can, but am now falling behind in just about every aspect of my job. I’m so unused to this. In haven’t asked my doctor if a post- shingles vax would help, but if it does, I should probably get one. Another bought of shingles would be tough to work through.
My 27 year old son is recovering from a rough case of shingles. Luckily, it wasn’t on his head like yours. I’ve never had chicken pox, so I have avoided contact with him.
