 1  Shingles Vaccine 1st dose: day 1 got slight nausea, headache. Day 2 my body exploded. Chills and shiver so extreme I had to use teeth guard, intense pain in abdomen and rib cage, stabbing headache, nausea/vomiting, diarrhea, blurred vision, difficulty walking, poor appetite, Now 11 days out I still experience lifestyle altering fatigue, nausea, headache . Shot # 2 Will consider if I am fully back to my baseline. Don't need more possible permanent damage. F 69

 3  Shingles Vaccine Headache, extreme fatigue, fever, chills, aches, pain, inability to perform daily tasks. No warning how prevalent or severe side effects really are. Take off of work entire next day for both shots. Studies must be doctored. Dosages are too high-why the one-size-fits all approach? F 61

 2  Shingles Vaccine Had the usual symptoms of extreme fatigue and headache for about 30 hours. Felt significantly better after that, so I started to ease back into my usual routine. On day 4, got clobbered with a repeat of the fatigue and headaches. Not as bad as the first time, but still enough to put me back on the couch. Day 7, I feel pretty good but still not back to normal. And I woke up with painful bumps on the sides of my tongue. I finished the Pfizer COVID vaccines 3 months ago. I suspect that it was too close to the Shingrix vaccine. For me the symptoms were identical. First dose. Will not get the second any time soon, if ever. I feel like it sent my immune system into a complete tailspin F 60

 1  Shingles Vaccine The arm pain after the first shingrix vaccine has been excruciating. I received it May 20 2021 and today is July 31 2021. I have severe left upper pain leg which has caused immobility. I can barely take care of my self between my right arm and my left leg and stiff neck. This has been horrible and I have no idea if it will subside or just continue to get worse. At this point the pain is the most severe at night while in bed when I can barely move because of the pain. 1st Shingrix vaccine. Will not be getting the second. The Medical websites minimize adverse reactions F 61

 3  Shingles Vaccine First shot: painful and sore arm I couldn't lift over my head for a couple days. Second shot: very painful, extremely sore arm I couldn't lift for a day, so I couldn't drive. I took 2 Aleve & 2 Tylenol PM the 1st night and I still could only fall asleep at 3:30 a.m. Still taking 1 Aleve 4 days later. F 60

 3  Shingles Vaccine Shingrix I'm on day seven of being annoyed with the side effects. Sleepy, muscle pain, head ache, body achy, chills one night, sweaty one day, receding nausea, and just getting tired of it. As Larry David says "I feel better, but not all better." I wish I had warning, I would have prepared better for my work day responsibilities. FYI, I had Moderna C-19 shots 1 and 2 about six weeks before Shingrix. Could be a bad idea to keep pushing the immune system. I will definately wait six months for Shingrix shot 2. M 56

 4  Shingles Vaccine Soreness at injection site for under 24 hours, tiredness and mild headache for under 12 hours. First dose. Though unpleasant, this is infinitely better than getting shingles! F 59

 2  Shingles Vaccine Vaccine on 07/22/21. Feverish & achy on day 2. Developed headache and armpit & abdominal rash on day 3. Itchy & burning. No improvement on day 6. Not sure if I'll take the 2nd dose. Depends on how long these symptoms last. F 60

 1  Shingles Vaccine Had a terrible body rash over chest abdomen that nothing helped relieve the itchy rash. It also started spreading to arms and thighs. It lasted 3 1/2 weeks . I refused the 2nd shot. I am immune compromised due to medication and RA. Sorry I got the first shot. F 62

 2  Shingles Vaccine About 30 hours after the vaccine I started not feeling well - chills, achy. I also have carpal tunnel in my wrists, which was bothering me somewhat, but after the vaccine I have had severe carpal tunnel pain, particularly while sleeping, even with my wrist braces on. This is the 5th day after the vaccine and the carpal tunnel is not getting any better. my upper legs are also aching. vaccine date 7/16/21, left arm. M 55

 2  Shingles Vaccine Vaccine did not work for me. I still have to take acyclovir every day to prevent breakouts otherwise I'm back in the hospital as these shingles love to attack my face. I remember taking shingrex a few years ago and it made me a little sick like shingles do and I really thought this was going to work but then I had a severe breakout aon my face a year later. My Dr. put me on a maintenance dose of acyclovir 400mg daily as result. Sometimes I have to take 800 mg if I can sense another break out coming. I got the 2 shingrix injections but it just didn't work for me. I still get shingles just as bad as before. F 53

 1  Shingles Vaccine Took the first shot on 6-26-21 and only experienced arm soreness at injection site. Then my body shut down...fever, chills, chest pain, disorientation. I have had both Moderna vaccines 3 months ago and had no reactions. This ain't fun people. Don't get this sh*t or you'll regret it. M 51

 2  Shingles Vaccine Headache, muscular aches, joint pain, fever as high as 102.5, nausea, chills, fatigue, injection site pain and swelling. Took both doses but never again. Definitely not worth the suffering endured for both 3-4 day ordeals. Overall, much worse than COVID19 VAX. M 52

 4  Shingles Vaccine 1st shot taken 1/30/21. Within 12 hours experienced chills, fatigue, pain in arm shot was given, down to hand. Laying down increased pain. Doctor did CT and found herniated disk pinching nerves to left arm. Didn't have any pain until Shingles shot. Took 2nd shot in right arm since there's issues with left b arm. Again. Withinv12 hours chills and other flu like symptoms. Day 2. After shot, started experiencing tingling in teeth and tongue. Bad enough to make eating uncomfortable. 1st does 1/30/21, Left arm at Walmart 2nd dose 6/19/21, right arm at Walmart F 61

 2  Shingles Vaccine Had first shot over 2 weeks ago. First evening, fever, aches, pain and swelling at injection site. Those symptoms left after 2 days. Swollen injection site continued to grow to several inches in circumference with redness and itching. After 2 weeks, I can still see the injection site discoloration and have extreme fatigue. My 2nd dose is in 5 weeks. I'm worried but will get. I wonder if others have had such prolonged fatigue. F 69

 1  Shingles Vaccine Had no problem at all with the first shot. The second shot resulted in painful swelling, redness and heat in a 5-inch diameter area around where I got the shot. I had a fever and bad headache the second day. Five days later, the area around the shot is still swollen, red and hot, has peeled like a sunburn, and is still very painful. Second dose, both doses received at CVS pharmacy. F 60
