So I Have Shingles

Shingrix first shot update: 24 hours later.

Last night was… unpleasant. Much higher fever than earlier, head and body aches, alternating between sweating and chills. Sleep was, as to be expected, crap. Got up this morning, added more NSAID, and back to about where I was in my prior report: achy (especially injection site) with some head and body pain (which may be just as related to the horrible sleep), and low to mid range fever. But no more sweating/freezing cycles.

With only a little luck, more/better sleep, and enough painkillers, figure I’ll be able to do everything I need to do tomorrow. NOT looking forward to the second jab at the end of August (thankfully scheduled right before the weekend) but it’s a necessary “evil”. :slight_smile:
