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.

That side effect sounds quite uncomfortable, hope you have some painkillers for overnight. Well done too for the weight loss. That’s a lot of weight gone & less pressure on joints so it’s not surprising you have been more active. When a doctor doesn’t listen to what you’re saying, it’s time to talk to someone else! Despite that I think your achievement is awesome.

I’ve taken some kava capsules, they might help me sleep. If not, I’ll use some of my strong painkillers so I can get some sleep.

That sounds good. I’ve never tried kava capsules before. All the best for a great nights sleep.
