Woke up feeling near 100% of subjective normal today. I think I actually got some reasonable sleep, holy what?

& no more vaccine symptoms either - no body pain, lungs are calmed down, feeling like a million bucks there. Even the tender spots around the shot sites don't hurt anymore.

So if anybody's thinking of getting the shingles shot & wondering what it's like, it's a bit rougher than other shots: it hurts more getting it, the spot aches for a while, & the side effects can lay people out for a few days.

Get it anyway. Seriously - get it anyway. It's nothing at all compared to actual shingles.

Shingles is a nightmare. A handful of folks in my family have had it and it was like torture. Two of them were elderly & believe the pain contributed to their deaths - not because shingles itself actually kills anyone, but because they were just in so much pain & so miserable they didn't want to live anymore.

@Impious_Jade It's damned awful - I got it when I was 69 and made damn sure I got the shots afterwards - never want to go through that again. Have some lasting nerve damage from it
