.... sorry dude. I’ve been debated taking the vaccination for that. A friend of mine did and it made him feel real sick, but better than getting them...

I think you may have to be 60 to get the shingles shot?

Beats me. I know you can have a shingles outbreak 5 weeks after you turn 59.

from the Mayo Clinic website
Symptoms Shingles The signs and symptoms of shingles usually affect only a small section of one side of your body. These signs and symptoms may include: Pain, burning, numbness or tingling Sensitivity to touch A red rash that begins a few days after the pain Fluid-filled blisters that break open and crust over Itching Some people also experience: Fever Headache Sensitivity to light Fatigue to address the pain, they prescribe tylenol, which I have been taking daily since my ankle surgery, so my pain wasn't especially bad ... actually, kinda used to pain because of my osteo, but I have the flu like symptoms as well ... or I have the flu. But probably the shingles, since I have head aches, fever and get tired. But the pain has mostly subsided the last 24 - 36 hours, so I think the anti-virals are working. |
