Got the Shingles vaccine on Monday morning. I have had all the common side-effects/reactions to the drug listed on the internet.
Seriously, passing a kidney stone is less painful than this vaccine. Every muscle in my body hurts, alternating between shivering and sweating, loss of appetite and nausea. My fingers hurt, the backs of my hands hurt, my palms hurt . . . Its now Wednesday morning and I can barely lift a coffee cup to my mouth. Spent the entire day in bed on Tuesday, spent most of Monday in bed/on the couch. Today will probably be mostly in bed, but I am feeling slightly better. For those of us lucky to get these side affects, they are supposed to last for roughly 3 full days. So I'm hoping to be feeling better tomorrow afternoon???
Just a bit of general advice, if your doctor advocates the Shingles vaccine just administer a quick Throat Punch to your doctor and ask her/him if they still recommend this vaccine. Repeat Throat Punching your doctor until they decide that the vaccine is a bad idea. Ultimately your doctor may be left for dead on the floor and you may need to change doctors, that will cause you less grief than this vaccine.
