Shingles apparently killed Diane Feinstein.
What’s the general consensus on the Shingles vaccine? I am especially cautious after the covid disaster.
Well, in that case I won’t be watching the Oscars./s
How many times?
Maybe they’ll get Zelenskyy to take his place.
It is said that if you never had chicken pox, you will not get shingles...I’m 76 and never had chicken pox or shingles...
Should have went with a steel roof.
Are there any CNN broadcasters available?
I had it a couple years ago on my head. It was bizarrely painful for a few days. I had a public position including some stage stuff at a convention. It was a little embarrassing.
Pfizer has got a shot for that!!!!
Shingles is a pain that defies description. I’ve experienced worse pain, but it is a pain within the nerves themselves. Nothing will stop the stabbing searing shards tearing apart your body where the outbreak(s) may be. Azithromycin and benadryl may help mitigate the length of the shingles attack.
All that being said, it is a self-limiting ailment and most people are over it in 10 days to three weeks. At least that is what I kept telling myself.
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.
“Per the outlet, he has been resting “
From what I’ve heard, “resting” must mean “smoking pot”.
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.
