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 got the shingles vax just before the covid thing. Had to pay for it but I’ve spent $$$ on far less useful things in my life 🙂

@JohnnieMac Probably really good timing because from anecdotal evidence I've heard that shingles infections have gone up a lot post-Covid entering our lives.
