Anybody get the shingles vaccine? If so, how was it?

I'm going in on Friday for mine. Only 45, but have had it 4x in 3 years (luckily mild but it's caused chronic fatigue, yay). I'm hoping it's not a crazy bad reaction!

Elders, please take the shingles vaccine.

À woman in her 80s has developed a severe case of #shingles, having waited too long to seek help. She was unable to walk and was taken to a hospital by friends.

‘I want to do everything I can to head off dementia’: why demand for the shingles vaccine is soaring.

Could a drug intended to prevent painful rashes also protect our brains as we get older? The signs are promising…

VZV, the virus that causes #chickenpox and #shingles may also play a role in other serious conditions. New research co-authored by past CCTSI Pilot Grant awardee Maria Nagel, MD, links VZV to stroke, vascular disease, vision loss, paralysis, and more. 👉 buff.ly/PUfGMDs

🦠💉 #Shingles cases are declining among younger U.S. adults, and researchers say childhood #chickenpox #vaccination is likely a major reason for the drop.

I had #shingles twice but caught it very early both times and it didn't get too bad. I'm pricking up my ears at the #dementia connection. Both my mother and her mother have/had it.
I will get that vaccine ASAP!!!

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.
