Any of you old fukkers had the shingles vaccine?

[DustinTheHuss]

My friends are getting Shingles and say it’s miserable. I want to get the Shingles shot but my Dr. said to get it on a Friday night as I’ll probably be sick most of the weekend

My Wife wants me to get the vax. What I don't understand is that since I had Chickenpox when I was a kid, I thought I am immune?

She says it's the other way around.

At any rate I'm not thrilled about any more vax after the horrible lingering effects I had from the covid shots.

Your wife is correct. Apparently, if you never had chickenpox and get exposed to the shingles virus, you get chickenpox, not shingles.

Ditto. I had chickenpox as a kid, then shingles in my 40s. Never want that again!!! I got the shingles vaccine last year. No side effects from the vaccine.

Get the shot, a couple of days with side effects is nothing compared to the agony and length of shingles.. 1st shot put me down hard, the second shot was hardly anything

Your wife is right Bando, if you had chicken pox you are at risk for Shingles. The virus is laying dormant inside you as you read this lol. srs

A buddy of mine got the shingles virus and what a freaking mess he is in. I found out last week and stopped in today to see how he was doing and bring him some special desserts.

It’s been 3 weeks and it is horrible looking. It started on his back and wrapped around his chest and rib area, all blistering and sh!t He said even a shirt on it can be excruciating and spends most of his time staying still and has to sleep on the not affected side.

He is no pussy and one tough SOB, a logger that hasn't missed a day's work in over 20 years, mid 40's, very healthy and fit but this brought him down and he is out. What a mess.


If you’re on the fence about getting vaccinated just remember this isn’t just an old geezers virus, many younger folks are getting shingles. So if you are at risk (had chickenpox) consider the vaccine, I wouldn't roll the dice on this fukker.

Where has Supramax been?

Where has Supramax been?

I have no idea, he's been gone a spell, just dropped off all of a sudden.

Hopefully, all is well and he is on a beach somewhere sipping umbrella drinks with a couple of hot blondes and enjoying life.

Thanks for the heads up on this, it sounds freakin miserable!
I need tetanus, this, and some others not having a regular doc.

I was falsely under the impression I had immunity since had chicken pox at 17, but thanks to this thread I read up on it. Same vaccine and recommendations over here and can get it done at age 50 it seems, so will have to put it in the calendar for next summer I guess. Remember how bad the chicken pox was so don't want any of that virus to reactivate.

Just over 2 years since I had my first shot...

If you're at risk and not an anti vax nut... Get poked.

[Payton1221]

. . . since I had my first shot...

Did you get the follow-up shot too?

I got the first shot four months ago, and not to deter anyone from getting the vaccine (I'm still glad that I did), but it supressed my immunity and I contracted something that left me feeling not great (~100.5 or less) fever for over a week.

They say you need to get the second shot within 4-6 months, so I have to get the final shot soon.

Sorry to hear that Payton.. My first shot had horrible side effects... But a few days down and out is nothing compared to what shingles patients go through for very lengthy periods..


I did, I got the second shot as soon as I became available and prepared myself for hell.. it was nothing, no side effects not even a sore arm..

I am interested in how the second shot goes for you.

Thanks for posting that! My wife and I have a vacation in August. I think I'll schedule my second shot immediately after I return.

The shingles vaxx is what started to make me doubt other vaccines. Got an outbreak of shingles on my back about 7 yrs ago, got the vaccine and to this day my arm tingles like needles every now and then & I lose feeling in it. Seen others report the same. You can take measures against shingles, you cannot against the vaccine..just like Covid.

Paul,

I'm not saying that you're wrong and I know that the motives of big pharma is money, money, money . . . MONEY, but I doubt there will ever be a 100% solution. You either live with the disease or a small segment of society has to deal with the consequences of trying to vaccinate against that disease.

[mtpockets]

Sorry to hear that Paul.. That really sucks. Hopefully it disappears quickly!




My experience, which has been very limited...

Has been..

None of the folks I know that have been vaccinated developed shingles.(I hear it is possible). I hope that I didn't jinx myself.. ha ha

None of the folks that I know that had shingles were vaccinated and regretted not getting vaccinated.

[PaulJerome]

I've lost all faith in big pharma.gov. I won't be getting another "vaccine".

Eight responses and you were the first to type what I was going to post. I would assume moving forward that every 'vaccine' put out by the evil pharmaceutical companies contains clot shot ingredients like graphene oxide. How can we trust them at this point?
