I got my 2nd Shingrix vax yesterday morning. [View all]

First one was 2 months ago and all I got was a very mild sore arm.

I felt fine yesterday, not even a sore arm. I went to sleep at my normal time. Then, I woke up at 2:12am hurting everywhere and feeling like a death warmed over. Couldn't get back to sleep because I felt so rotten. So I watched videos and sipped water until time to get up.

The nurse told me whatever happens will only last for 24 hours. Hopefully she's right. I have a house guest coming on Friday and need to get some stuff done. Guess it will have to wait.

Husband got his at the same time and is fine today. But it had been a lot longer since his first one. I wonder if that makes a difference.

In any case, I'm glad we're both protected now!
