    Yeah, I usually handle any and all shots pretty well, but not that one. But ... beats the alternative.

    Oh, yeah. My sister-in-law was scheduled to get the shingles shot, but actually got shingles before her appointment.

    It's definitely something to avoid. Really awful.

    I had the original (it's now new and improved in terms of effectiveness) shingles vaccine when it was new, like 15 years ago or so, and my reaction was so severe I thought I had contracted shingles from the shot. Well, that would have cost Big Pharma a billion or so, so I received lots of attention from my primary care physician. It was treated just with capsicin on the effected areas, so it couldn't have been actual shingles. It sucked though. When I went for my last examination, the doctor said, "you can't believe how much paperwork you've caused for me." He's a good guy, so I happily responded, "you mean for your secretary, right?"
