Today is my three year anniversary from the date I got Shingles. My hip, knee and abdominal muscles on my right side are still fucked up from the nerve damage it caused.

I'm finally, as of about a month ago, down to a one 75mg pill a day of my nerve pain medication, after a high of 300mg a day for a long time.

Go get your shingles shot if you're eligible (ie 50+ or immunocompromised) and have had the chicken pox. Do it.

@casseagull I'm still getting turned away, even with a prescription.

@drwho That is infuriating. Hopefully you can find someone who will administer it to you. My pharmacist did my shots and she was possibly more excited about it than I was because she had observed what a terrible infection and after effects I'd had.

@casseagull I keep trying. Tried three states so far, no dice. Eventually I'll just be old enough for them to give in.
