Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Shingles shot #2

Had my second shot yesterday. First one was NBD… just a sore arm. This time around, not so good. Feel like I have been rode hard and put away wet. Failed to get the license tag of the truck that hit me. Not much fun.

It took a day for me to feel "normal" after my second. First was no problem.

The day after my second Shingrex shot, my arms were photosensitive. The skin turned deep red where the sun hit and it’s like the skin is now stained.

This was months ago and can still see the demarcation between the sun exposed and the rest of the skin on my arms.

….kicked my ass, for about a day and a half. Beats the fugg outa shingles by all accounts.

I felt pretty tough after the 2nd for about a day also.

But seeing how I was pretty close to losing the vision in my left eye from shingles, it was well worth it.

My oldest sister has had four of those shots.....and had shingles 11 times...

I heard dat chit be making people magnetic

Happy Campa, back me up

I’ve never had chicken pox,

I was warned the second shot would be worse than the first but for me it was only slightly more painful than the first and only lasted a day or two...

I got my annual flu shot and my second Pneumonia shot last week and my shoulder hurt for a couple days and I was nauseous and dizzy for a a few days... much worse than the Shingrix shot....

Your momma didn’t drop you off at Kenny’s house? lol

Lol, my cousins, but none of them were named Kenny.

Just Darrel

You got the jab? Oh no..........

Had both of mine over a year ago. Never had any reaction problem at all. No soreness... nothing.

Had the "original" shingles vax in Jan 2015, the newer 2 dose vax in April and June 2018, no problems with any of them. I had the chicken pox twice as a kid in the late '50s.

I had chx pox twice. I guess I am more susceptible? When do you get the shot?

the first shot made me lay around the house all day

I get the second one in a few weeks. looking forward to it

1st shot resulted in a few days of my arm Being sore.

2nd shot was not as bad.

I have had friends who were in the hospital for shingles. You do not want to have that happen to you. One passed away from complications.

I felt a little “off” after the first, OK after the second.

My father had a compromised immune system due to cancer treatment. This was in 1962. He required several pints of blood every month or so, One of the pints was contaminated with the shingles virus. He came down with the worst case of shingles his doctor had ever heard of. While the shingles did not directly kill him, they made his last few weeks miserable, and weakened him to the point where pneumonia took him.

If necessary, I would force anyone I cared about to get the shots at the point of a gun.
