I got my first shot yeaterday. I was told only that my arm would be sore for about a week. It hurt a little the first night. But! The worst part was the feeling like I've got the flu. After reading the reviews and all the bad side effects I think I'll skip the second shot and take my chances.

I am a 55yo healthy male. The first dose just made my arm ache horribly. I received the second dose three days ago. Yesterday I ached EVERYWHERE!! I was so weak I could barely stand up. I felt as though I had the flu. Today I am better but still recovering. If this prevents Shingles it will be worth it. But be aware that if you get the vaccine you could become quite sick with flu like symptoms.

I got the first shot in May. I had chills and a fever for two days. I never got my appetite back. Got the 2nd shot on Friday. Spent all day Saturday trying to throw up food I had not eaten. It's Monday and I still feel awful. I have never had any kind of side effect from anything, so I am not happy with this drug.

Never had any childhood diseases, and broke out with massive shingles after having shot 3 yrs ago. Under inhumane stress, but shingles almost killed me. All over my chest, my back, and down my left arm to my hand. Nobody can answer why I got it - other than stress. Though, I HAVE NEVER HAD CHICKEN POX. They say the virus lived in me, but I just never broke out. I say- nobody knows what they're ... Show Full Comment

Never had any childhood diseases, and broke out with massive shingles after having shot 3 yrs ago. Under inhumane stress, but shingles almost killed me. All over my chest, my back, and down my left arm to my hand. Nobody can answer why I got it - other than stress. Though, I HAVE NEVER HAD CHICKEN POX. They say the virus lived in me, but I just never broke out. I say- nobody knows what they're talking about. Shingles is a mystery to all Dr.s I do not fit the profile, but got the worst case my medical facility has ever profiled. Trust me, get all shots possible but do not trust any answers. They just don't know anything!!! Now I'm disabled with post neuropathy and I am furious. Shingles needs to be talked about more and more. This is a pain I've never imagined in my life, and I've been through it all.

I developed not very serious shingle symptoms after the shot. However my vision deteriorated after 4 weeks and I need glasses now. I also experience muscle pain in the right upper leg since the shot. Recommendation: Think twice before getting the shot.
