Damn, ouch. Got my second shingles vaccine and since I was there, got a pneumonia vaccine in the other arm. Shots never bother me, but damn those hurt and I felt lousy all day. Got the shots yesterday. Sucks getting old

I got two pneumonia vaccines on Friday morning.
The wife asked if I could a shingles vaccine the same day.
The vaccine RN said that the shingles vaccine is a nasty one, and don't do it on the same day.
Now it is 4.5 days later and my arm is still sore.
The problem is I was sick for the first 36 hours.
I hate to imagine being twice as sick.

Yup, the shingles shot is a humdinger. Gotta get my second one soon.
On the other hand, shingles, REALLY sucks.

I skipped the gym today. It was a good excuse. Feverish and achy.

I got the shingles vaccine last year and the first shot made my lymph nodes swell in my neck on the side I got the shot on.I felt very uncomfortable for about four or five days.I got the second one a couple of months later and it didn't bother me at all.

I ran fever for about 24 hours after both shingles shots, arm hurt for a couple days. Never had a flu or pneumonia shot.

First shingles shot wasn't too bad. The second shot made me sore. I don't normally get a flu shot but I got the pneumonia vaccine.

I had a spat of shingles 2 years ago. The rash was nothing. Feeling like I got slammed in the back of the neck with a baseball bat every morning was something else. Got my yearly VA check up in a few weeks, will see about getting the shingles vaccine as I have been putting it off too long.

Got the shots yesterday. Sucks getting old It's probably just your body reacting to the micro chip in that vaccine you got.

The pneumonia shot did’t bother me and neither did the first shingles shot but the second shingles shot hit pretty hard and made me feel $hitty for a day or so and my arm was sore/tender for about a week. The first shingles shot affected my wife kinda like the second one affected me but the second didn’t bother her so go figure.
My wife had shingles about ten years ago and her bout with it convinced me that I didn’t want anything to do with an outbreak.

Had my first shingles shot in November. Sore arm for over a week, but had a hard time sleeping the night after the shot. I was awake half the night shivering.

Shingles can pop up anywhere on your body.I know a guy who got it on his neck and inside his ear.It affected him in a bad way.It made him dizzy along with the pain and after five years he still has issues with his equilibrium.

Three of my friends have had shingles recently. Two of them required trips to the hospital. We're all over 70, so this is serious stuff.
I had the shingles shot several years ago (not the more recent two shot version), had the pneumonia shot a while back, and haven't had a flu shot in several years. I asked my G.P. about the flu shot, and was told they didn't have the version for "old people" in stock, go to your pharmacy for that one. Well, I don't have faith in one of the young slackers at my pharmacy giving me an injection, so that's a no-go.
Last year I got some kind of bug and ended up in the E.R. of my local hospital with dehydration after puking and pooping out most of what's inside me. The bottom line is the bug I caught wasn't the flu bug. My nurse told me that several of the hospital staff members had the same thing. My G.P. said this year there are several flu bugs going around and that the flu vaccine might not be the one you need.

I have a couple of friends who had shingles. Bad and sad deal. Prompted me to get my shots a year ago. I had no reaction from either shot.
