had them 4 times, they got milder and milder, haven't had them for about 5-6 years now

Not a vaccine guy but all I have ever heard about shingles is misery. black, white, make or female. Doesn't; matter.

First shot didn't bother me.

Second shot put me down for day and a half. Felt like I had the straight flu. Kinda rough actually.

Will take feeling bad over shingles any day.

Sent with prayer. Shingles can be very painful. My wife had them many times Shingrix is the most effective if taken about 6 mo. before or after an eruption. Even though I could not remember having Chicken Pox I had been exposed to it, My doc strongly advised I get the shot. He had patients that had have had a mild cast of CP and not know it get shingles.

My lady barber described them best - she said she wouldnt wish shingles on her ex husband.

It's really important to get treatment within the first 72 hours especially if you get it in your face you could lose your eyesight! Felt them coming on but didn't know what it was, it is a rash like you never had before ended up in the emergency room just in time to save my right eye. They pumped me full of valtrex and prednisone that was December 16th I still get nerve twitches on the side of my face.
I'd rather have covid 10 times than shingles once!
