re: #152 retired cynic

My first shingles shot of this set made me ache a bit. The second just knocked me flat on my azz. I ended up just going to bed. Maybe the fact that I was only about 6 weeks from being in the hospital with sepsis made that reaction really hit. Still, am glad I got it! My cousin has had a bout of it that has lasted about 10 months, and she is miserable, and can’t (I assume) love on her grandbabies, or see her 96 year old father. I do not need that!

Both of my shingles shots made my arm ache for weeks. The second felt worse than the first. My dad had shingles and really hated it so I was more than happy to get vaccinated.
