SOME GOOD NEWS...

The last of my Shingles blisters has finally healed up 👏🎉👏

Ten fucking months to the day when I first discovered it... 😳

#Shingles - not as much fun as you might think.

New on The Future of Medicine with #StanDOM's Errol Ozdalga: Stanford researcher Pascal Geldsetzer discusses a remarkable body of evidence connecting #shingles vaccination with a lower risk of #dementia: https://youtu.be/lpraA-mGD3M

Don’t want to jinx it but I got my first #shingles #vaccine about 24 hrs ago; so far I really only felt a little more tired than usual last night but not terribly so.

Just back from a run now - only a few miles because I didn’t want to overdo it, but actually felt pretty good.

🦠🧠 #Shingles can cause debilitating long-term nerve pain, and new research suggests #exosomes released during #infection alter #neurons in ways that could reveal new treatment targets.

I got the #shingles #vax this yr. and will soon get the current #flu and #covid19 vax!

And #shingles can be unbearable. My Dad got it in his late 50s, when he was otherwise in very good health (still is at 76!). He was off work for SIX WEEKS.

This was before #vaccination was offered and anyway he would have been too young to have it.

Dr. Fabiana Corsi-Zuelli and scientists at @ox.ac.uk describe a recombinant #shingles vaccine associated with lower long-term risks of several cardiovascular outcomes, supporting studies of its potential cardioprotective effects. 💉

"Decreasing the risk by even a little bit, Taquet says, could save thousands of lives. If his team’s results are confirmed in clinical trials, he says, “the impact would be enormous.”"

More than 90% of people carry varicella-zoster #virus #VZV, yet its impact may extend well beyond #chickenpox or #shingles. Reactivation can affect nerves, blood vessels and organs (sometimes without a rash) and has been associated with #stroke, cardiovascular events & #dementia. lnkd.in/p/e3PqnA8S
