Shingles

[Mrs. JS]

my niece had them at age 20!

Had them 2 years ago at 18. Looked like bad spider bites above my left eye and next thing i know my head feels like its on fire and someone is pulling my hair out. Many sleepless nights!

never had them. But have heard they were a pain. At my physical last fall the doc gave me a shot for it. Im almost 61 now so I guess I will be getting more shots.

Wife was required to get the vaccination last year, $190. Her shoulder was all swollen with a rash afterwards. She was advised to stay away from small children and pregnant women for a few days. Never bothered to tell me this and I broke out with a painful rash on the inside of my upper arm that burned all the way to my finger tips. Hopefully I was vaccinated as well?

Do you have to get a vaccination every year?
