Get your shingles vaccination
Folks:
Consider this a PSA: Get your shingles vaccination. After seeing what I have been going through for the past month, my wife has set up an appointment with our family doctor to get one.
I have it in the left ear, although this rash can hit you anywhere. And the pain level is Percoset-high, believe me. Ton of fatigue came with it as well.
Mine developed right after a recent lung biopsy (NO CANCER!) and took a while to properly diagnose. Was finally put on Valtrex and pain killers. At one point, I got a shot of dilaudin at the local ER because nothing else was working to lessen the pain. Getting better; down to one Percoset a day.
These shots are available at Walgreens at half the physician's price f you are not covered by your regular insurance. Get one and you'll never fear facing shingles.
