I ope it's worth it.

The other I got the first of two shots of the Shingrix vaccine. The pharmacy tech warned me it'd hurt.

actually wasn't all that bad. a dull ache in the muscle. I was ok for the first day. Did lie in bed and read a lot, but I've been doing that a lot lately.

Second day, I just lay in bed and couldn't get interested in reading., I was a;so pretty cold (it was down to 68 at the computer. So I killed the fan in the bedroom window and closed the door.

Things did (eventually warm up, but meanwhile I was just laying there and napping a lot.

Then it got too hot. (I can be cold laying in be, but if I pull a sheet over me I get too warm, bleah)

Almost though I was gonna throw up a couple times, but that's gone away. but I was pretty much useless alll day. I'm a little better this morning. May have to cancel TV night with fayanora.

I've checked several times and I'm not running a fever but if not for that I'd think I had the ful or something.

I hope I don't get thing when I get the second dose in a few months. Ick.

ps. When I'm feeling better I'll have to post about the dream with the rattlesnakes.

Yeah. Didn't have much in the way of side effects from the first dose, but the second left me feeling like I was in the first three days of a mild case of the flu. Far better than getting shingles, IMHO.

Had you ever gotten the *old* shingles vaccine? I have but was told I needed the new one because it was better.

so my reaction may have been the immunity from the old vaccine reacting to the new one.

And your reaction would be the immunity from the first dose reacting to the second dose.

so either the next injection is gonna be fine or it'll *really* knock me for a loop.

I had the old vaccine as soon as I was old enough. The latest injection was the second of the new vaccine. I should be finished with it (thankfully).
