got my shingles vaccine yesterday (first of two). arm is sore and my brain is slow this am. tech said I might experience some 'flu-like' symptoms. not sure if I'd describe it like that, but I do feel... weird. sure beats the heck out getting shingles, tho. my love was afflicted in her 30s and it was hell to watch. get your vaccines, folx.

The day after the #shingles shot & my arm is swollen, sore & very hot.

The 2nd shot is supposed to be much more re:#SideEffects. Something to look forward to.💉

Oh & since my 2022 spinal surgery, I’ve lost 33kg!!!

I haven’t been trying to #loseWeight, I guess that since the surgery & despite some bad days, I’ve been more active?

Or I put on so much weight in the years leading up to the surgery due to the constant pain & my idiot doctor at the time ignoring me telling him something was wrong.

Dudes -- get your shingles vaccine!! You can get it anywhere -- pharmacy, Costco, or doctor's office.

There is strong evidence that it can help prevent dementia.

#Flu vaccine ❌

They still don’t have any flu vaccines.

Back in a couple of months for another Shingles shot. 👍

Appointment with my doctor confirmed for tomorrow.

#Vaccination time for #Covid & #Shingles.

(I’ve never had #Chickenpox but I read the Shingles vax is a possible #dementia fix. Maybe? Or it might slow dementia)

It really depends on what condition the patient is suffering from. Right now, I'm recovering from #chickenpox, which is no fun in your sixties, and (at least in my case) has left me breathless and damaged my nerves in similar ways to #shingles. I can't do a normal day's work because my cognition and sleep cycle are muddled up by #pregabalin, a powerful drug prescribed to me to combat nerve pain so that I can sleep at night. But participating in work meetings and writing what code I can, when I can, is therapeutic in a way that sitting at home and concentrating on all my symptoms just wouldn't be.
