- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.

The shingles vaccine made me exhausted and achy for days. I'm pretty tough and yet that one was difficult.
Still better than shingles. Get shingles in your eyes or your pusswatcha or your back and scream every time the wind blows, and you'll regret it.
Major correlation between Shingrex vaccinated and signficantly lower Alzheimer's incidence. Those who get all vaccines and maintain them over 65 have 1/3 lower incidence of Alzheimer disease. It's not any one virus, it's about not assualting the brain with reactive oxygen during an immune response due to infection.
We'll see Alzheimer's rates spike in the next decade thanks to RFK Jr types.
This is super interesting. Thank you, I didn't know.
my mom and bro had it around the eye, the mom look like f'up from all those blisters, but no lasting damage or vision problems, my bro had scarring in his sclera when he went to get checked for laser eye surgery, apparently you are not eliglbe for laser eye surgery if shingles has affected any part of your eye.
