 1  Shingles Vaccine Shingles rash I was told that a shingles vaccine would prevent shingles, so I agreed to get it for my daughter at her 10 year old check-up. 3 days later she had a shingles rash. The doc denied that she could get it from the vaccine, and prescribed a very expensive topical medicine FOR SHINGLES. ! F 10

 3  Shingles Vaccine First shot I barely noticed. They did NOT adequately warn me about second shot/side effects. I had a couple of gut-related stabs the evening of the 1st day. Woke up yesterday (day 2) feeling like my fibromyalgia met the flu. It was *horrible* in that the pain was both intense and poorly localized. I'd happened to have had a mild jump in my pancreatic enzymes, so that's what we all thought. Especially as pain and accompanying nausea sent me to the ED last night. They did the usual tests and found nothing--it wasn't until later that I figured it out--especially since I am markedly better this morning. Still feeling incredibly fatigued with occasional yips from my gut. The referred pain from my outraged GI tract hit my back. Five hours in the ED was no fun at all, however shingles is far worse. I've never had a vaccine reaction before and would probably have done better if the nurse had told me my life was about to suck. F 59 0 days

So sick, I could not keep food nor water down for the first day. Day 2, managed 8 oz of water and 2 crackers. Day three, am slowly starting to rally. This has been BEASTLY!!

 2  Shingles Vaccine I only experienced arm pain with my 1st dose. My arm hurt immediately after my 2nd dose. The next morning I woke up with Headache. Chills, body aches, vomiting and fever followed shortly. I was bed ridden for 2 days. Day 3 I'm still suffering with a horrible headache. My arm is still very sore and now my feet are burning and hurt really bad. Tylenol is not helping. I had dose 1 on March 1st, 2nd dose May 26th. F 54

 3  Shingles Vaccine Got my first shot from CVS and got the usual slight chills and body aches song with a very minor headache. The next day I developed a minor skin rash on the shoulder of my left arm. Strangely, I was injected on my right arm, and besides the usual soreness from the vaccination site, there are no issues on that arm. So 48 hours after receiving the vaccine I seem to be almost fully recovered. It's only been 2 days so I do t know what lies ahead. But so far, besides the aforementioned issues, it appears to be ok. Since this is my first dose, if there are no other issues after a couple of months, I will get the second dose as well! M 67

 4  Shingles Vaccine First shot, no problem. About 8 hours after the 2nd shot, I started feeling off. I developed dizzy or unsteadiness & chills. I went to bed early. Next morning I felt really off with fever, chills, aches throughout body, headache, nausea. Took Ibuprofen for this. Was feeling better by mid evening. Just soreness at injection site remains. I had active Shingles 3 months before the vaccine. F 60

 1  Shingles Vaccine You’d have to hold a gun to my head for me to get a second shot of this hideous drug. Severe vomiting, 102 fever, shakes, chills, hallucinations when trying to sleep, body aches - this lasted for days! Now, weeks later, I have weird, severe nerve pain in my hands and feet. This was poison for me. Hideous experience that scares me that this hand pain might be permanent. Dr.’s office, first dose. F 74
