My arm is in so much pain can't raise it above my head. I am woozy sleeping off & on and my inside body is so hot. My temp 101.1 it's been one heck of an experience.

It's not a good feeling at all I feel drugged for the past two days slurring my words and my Headache hasn't yet gone away taking Tylenol every two - four hrs to relieve. Think again about this vaccine | 1st dose | F | 50 | | 12/21/2023 | 1 | Shingles Vaccine | SHINGRIX (Zoster Vaccine Recombinant, Adjuvanted) is the WORST vaccine EVER!! I got it yesterday and a couple of hours later my arm was hotter than my oven and I had body aches all day today, so bad that Chris wanted to take me to the emergency room. Ugh. NEVER MORE. Shingrix Adverse Reaction . @SHINGRIX SUCKS. give me the shingles any day--I have had them twice and they are nothing compared to the Vaccine. | First dose this year, same as last year. | F | 62 | | 10/20/2023 | 3 | Shingles Vaccine | Within four hours felt feverish, body aches, headache, and palpitations. Hard to tell if the affects were worse because I got the flu shot at the same time. Two days later, arm still sore, although not as bad, and still having palpitations. Since I've had shingles twice in the last year, I really hope this series of vaccines helps me from getting it again. Doctors office definitely did not prepare me for the side effects. | F | 51 | | 9/24/2023 | 3 | Shingles Vaccine | Severe muscle and nerve pain in neck, shoulders. Headache, nausea/vomiting, fatigue | 1st shot, right arm | F | 60 | | 9/9/2023 | 2 | Shingles Vaccine | 1st shingrix shot not bad. 2nd shot, aches and pains in aall my limbs, very fatigued, shot site very red and swollen. Took some Tylenol so I could sleep.'I had the shingles 4 years ago one year after receiving the Zostavax vaccine. Shingles lasted a few months with nerve pain around my back and over my heart.

I did not feel good for four days. Around day 7 I broke out in shingles. I am now battling shingles rash all over, three weeks now. A spot will heal and another spot pops up somewhere else. Today, two on back of neck, one on shoulder blade and another above my upper lip. Current meds are valtrex 1 Gram 3 x a day, topical steroid for itching and Tylenol for pain. I will not get the second dose. | First dose of Shingrix vaccine on August 3, 2023. This vaccine is horrible.

Horrible | M | 74 | | 7/27/2023 | 1 | shingles vaccine | To start out I had shingles in August of 2022 I was told by my doctor wait 6-8 months, before I got the shingrix vaccine it would make me very very sick so I waited my time I went to Walmart where I live here in Texas I got the vaccine in my left arm the site was fine it just felt like somebody like frogged me in my arm like punching me with their knuckle the next day I woke up let me remind you I already had shingles and the pain from shingles is horrible so when I woke up the next day every bone, muscle, joint tissue that could hurt in my body was hurting I made my way to the kitchen I got some Tylenol and gabapentin I laid back down I was still hurting the next day I was in excruciating pain and wanted to go to the ER but I didnot want to be hospitalized so I waited the third day I was still hurting every part of my body it was so unbearable this pain. so my son took me to the doctor I seen the doctor she said I was having a severe adverse reaction to the vaccine she gave me some medicine some prednisone some pain medicine and said she hoped that could help and that nothing else would happen hopefully.

This rash was so severely itchy after 2 and half weeks it started Scabbing and healing it did Leave small scarring but I'm Still experiencing hand wrist Carpal tunnel syndrome pain. This was my 1st dose of the shringrix vaccine. I WILL NOT GET THE 2ND SHOT/DOSE. I DONT RECCOMEND THIS VACCINE. I WOULD NOT GIVE IT TO DEAD ROAD KILL. Apparently with all of us people Having such horrible side Effects this vaccine needs to Be investigated and we dont even know the long term effects we will all suffer later. IF I KNEW THEN WHAT I KNOW NOW I WOULDN'T OF GOT THE SHRINGRIX VACCINE AT ALL. ALL OF THE SIDE EFFECTS PEOPLE HAVE MENTIONED HERE ON THIS SITE WERE NOT ALL MENTIONED ON THE VACCINE SIDE EFFECT SHEET WE SIGNED AND WERE NOT MENTIONED IN THE TRIAL STUDIES OF THE VACCINE so shame on you GlaxoSmithKline Very upset about all of this!!!! Being I'm left handed this has been so awful I cant hold my Phone long or the steering wheel without having to Switch hands even simple House chores like washing dishes or vacuuming hurts cant Walk my dog without struggling | Administered in my left upper arm muscle it was my 1st shot and my last. WILL NOT GET 2ND SHOT especially after reading some of the experiences shared here on this site. Thank You everyone who has shared Their experience we are helping others I'm sure!!!! | F | 51 | | 7/25/2023 | 2 | Shingles Vaccine | 1st injection 1st day yesterday. I was fine until later in the day then sore are like a flu shot. About midnight I woke up sweating and extreme nerve pain in every part of my body. Even my fingers. There isn't one part of my body that doesn't hurt. I've had back and neck issues my entire life so I can handle a lot of pain This isn't muscle pain. It's like my nerves are all on fire. I hope this goes away today. My pharmacist said she had not heard any bad side effects except sore arem with the first injection. If the 2nd is worse, I don't want it. But I'm fearful of getting shingles and know several people who have had them. They stay with you for years sometimes. Risk, reward. I'll see. | F | 65 | | 7/21/2023 | 1 | Shingles Vaccine | I had the shingles vaccine in February 2023. I have felt very bad ever since. I have pain all over. Joint pain in knees, elbows, wrists, fingers, back and hips. I had no idea you could have long-term side effects like this. I talked to my Dr. about it and he said he has heard of joint pain side effect like this. I will not be getting the second shot. Also, a general feeling of not feeling well. I sure hope this goes away soon, but it is now June and no change. | First shot in February 2023. Will not be getting the second. | F | 59 | | 6/7/2023 | 1 | Shingles Vaccine | Received first shot 5/15/23. Starting approx 4 hrs after injection and is still happening 36hrs later EXTREME fatigue, painful spasms in my upper back and pain in neck and jaw, all over n joint and muscle pain, hand and arm went numb.

I have had a fever with chills, body aches and extreme fatigue for a third day now (Thursday). Glands by my throat are the size of golf balls and my throat hurts from a ton of sinus drainage. And they say the second dose could be worse. I don't know. Yeah, Shingles sounds worse, but! | IM at the shoulder. 1st dose | F | 54 | | 3/30/2023 | 5 | Shingles Vaccine | Mild headache, some chills. That's it! | F | 79 | | 3/15/2023 | 3 | Shingles Vaccine | Received second shot on 3/2/2023 and arm was very sore that night which prevented me from sleeping since I'm a side sleeper. Felt under the weather but nothing very specific except a moderate headache top of my head. The second day I was pretty much down and out feeling very lousy especially since I didn't sleep. Arm remains sore 3 days later and has a hot spot at the injection site. Since I revived the shot I'm noticing weird joint pain in my ankles mostly but also shoulder and left elbow. Today my right ankle is so bad I'm noticeably limping. I have no idea if it's related because I also started a new med at the same time so that determination is up in the air right now. | Second vaccine | M | 72 | | 3/6/2023 |
