 3  Shingles Vaccine Fever, chills, body aches, sweats,arm soreness Big mistake - I got the shingles vaccine, flu vaccine, and pneumonia vaccine all at once on October 12 at CVS. By Oct 14 I went to urgent care as I was so sick. I tested negative for Covid and was told I should never get more than one vaccine at a time, it is too much for the body. Thanks to their care, I am feeling much better today (10/15), but I think it will be another day or so before I can conquer the world again. Arms are still sore from injections. F 53

 1  Shingles Vaccine First shingrix vaccination was on Sept 10. I had a terrible sore arm with fever, nausea and overall exhaustion. Lasted for a good 5 days. I am dragging my feet to get the second shot. Who wants to suffer the side effects again? Given by nurse at GP F 60

 1  Shingles Vaccine First day, high fever, chills, severe pain in the arm, very tired. Second day, the pain spread and my entire left upper half of my body hurt so bad that I couldn't move. Fever and chills less intense. It is day six now, fever and chills gone, arm still sore but tolerable, tiredness and malaise continue. Shot very painful although administered by a very skilled nurse at my PCP. F 67

 1  Shingles Vaccine Debilitating diarrhea, nausea, intestinal cramping, extreme fatigue, painful headaches, malaise Administered at Walgreens. First vaccine received on July 21 with no side effects other than a very sore arm at injection site for a few days. Second vaccine administered Thursday September 23. Had the same arm soreness, but...24 hour hours later the nausea, cramping, and diarrhea began. I also was waking up every morning with a pounding headache, followed with several emergency trips to the bathroom. Over the next week the cramping and multiple emergency trips to the bathroom at any time during the day or night got me very concerned, so I contacted my Doctor. He ordered my stool to be tested. I felt like I had a never ending flu with no fever. I have had little to no appetite and extreme fatigue for almost 3 weeks. I have lost 8 pounds in these 3 weeks since the second vaccination. The testing on my stool was all negative. I thought I might have COVID; the test was also negative. I am still having gastro problems with diarrhea, but have decided to return to work tomorrow as the fatigue is a little better. I am praying that this resolves soon. I am miserable. I have missed 7 days of work with this problem. F 59

 3  Shingles Vaccine Very painful left arm where shot was given. The pain got worse through the day. Had to use ice packs and take pain medication. Next day, arm not so sore but bad headache and very nauseous, to the point where I can not eat. Very tired but having trouble sleeping. would rather put up with 3 or 4 days of discomfort than 6 months of pain with Shingles. 1st Shingrix shot given to me on 10/12/2020 by Pharmacist at WalMart in the upper left arm.

 1  Shingles Vaccine Horrible vaccine. Severely nausea after then all kinds of terrible symptoms start appearing. Nerve pain, burning skin on arms and legs. A year later still have terrible nerve pain on hands and feets, ankles, wrists. I only got the one shot .never went back for second. I can only imagine how much worst I would be. Dangerous vaccine.

 3  Shingles Vaccine Miserable 3 days. Never had a reaction like this for so long. Whole body hurts, sweating, joints ache. Taking ibuprofen and Tylenol. My hair is plastered to my head from sweating at night. Very cranky on such beautiful days we are having. No appetite. Not sure if I will get booster. Had the first Shingles vaccine in 2017 that they say doesn't work as well. No reactions with that. I'm not sure who to believe anymore after this reaction. Arm still hurts 4th day. Cvs Pharmacy October 8, 2029 F 66

 3  Shingles Vaccine 3 days after the shot I got a 1 inch line of itchy pustules on my right forearm that resembled shingles had it been on my back. Intensely itchy felt on my whole Inner forearm. I hadn't been around poison ivy. Was this a side effect of Shingrix?? 3 days later it hasn't Improved. Benedryl hardly eases the itch discomfort.

 5  Shingles Vaccine I had my first dose on 10/09/2020. My body feels like I have a mild case of the flu. However, the site of the vaccine is extremely sore. I don't even want to touch it. However, if it is as effective as it's said to be, I will happily deal with the side effects. I have seen people suffering from a shingles outbreak and I am terrified at the thought of getting it!
