What's new

Vaccination mandates on the horizon.

Don't forget, there are nurses and "medical professionals" that hate you for not being vaxxed, so don't put it past them to vax you on purpose against your will if they can get away with it.
Fact! My Mom n pops are ex human repair techs and hate that I never got vaxxd. I tell em there gonna hate their siblings dieing off worse.
 
And the Covid boosters are triggering shingles as a side effect.

a new vaccine to prevent the other new vaccine‘s side effects? Brilliant! :idea:

The previous shingles vax actually has a class action against it

 
but they made the huge mistake of not getting an all encompassing indemnity

much more important than doing anything like testing
yeah, aint nobody got time for testing- they gotta get that thing to the market to find out what it does for turbo sniffles and boost stock value sky high!
 
Got the Shingles last week. It totally blows. I think I'd rather have Covid. I'm only 41 so the vaccine does not appear to be an option. Looks like Zostavax is not available now. Shingrix might be an option at 50 but it appears that they are not comfortable with giving it out unless absolutely needed. That is saying something:homer:

Have fun with the random nerve pain that lasts 2-3 months after you're "over" it. It sucks big time.
 
Shingles sucks. I got it ~10 years ago now on my stomach, that shit hurts. My wife's friend's husband got it on his face and went blind in one eye :eek:

Yeah, that's been a problem. The shingles are located on my right forehead/temple area. I had encephalitis on the right side of my brain in the past so these nasty headaches suck and make me real nervous. The pain meds help but damn...:homer:

I get them randomly in the affected area still 12 years after. The doctor says it’s not a thing but reading articles says it can last a life time. Also a 30% increase in chance of cardiovascular issues for someone who has been affected by shingles
 
Wait…wut?

Educate me.
Neurologist had me go to an ophthalmologist. She wasn't to concerned but I have to use non preservative eye drops and if I have any problems, then I would need some sort of cream to put into my eye?:laughing: Here is some stuff I found online about it.



Up to 20% of shingles episodes involve nerves of the head, where the infection can affect various parts of the eye, including the eyelid, the eye surface, and the deeper portions of the eye. Viral infection of the eye can cause pain, drainage, redness, and sensitivity to light. In some cases it can lead to vision impairment, including blindness.

Shingles in the front of the eye​

Shingles can affect the cornea, the curved, transparent dome of tissue at the front of the eye. This is called keratitis, and it can occur as a complication of herpes zoster ophthalmicus (HZO), which refers to shingles with a rash that typically involves one side of the upper face, forehead, and scalp. More than half of patients with HZO may have keratitis.

If you have shingles involving the upper face, forehead, or scalp area, it is important to see an ophthalmologist for a formal eye examination, whether or not you notice any eye symptoms. Keratitis usually develops within one month of the shingles rash and can lead to numbness of the cornea, scarring, additional infections, and more corneal damage, which can ultimately cause blindness.

Shingles in the back of the eye​

Shingles involving the retina or optic nerve — structures found at the back of the eye — typically is not associated with a skin rash or other symptoms at the eye surface. This type of shingles infection is called viral retinitis and occurs much less commonly than HZO. But it can significantly damage the retina through a combination of infection and inflammation. Viral retinitis can take the form of acute retinal necrosis (ARN) or progressive outer retinal necrosis (PORN).
 
The Covid vax made me look into other vaccines.

No way I will get the flu shot ever again.

It’s not very effective, it doesn’t stop the spread of the virus at all even if you don’t have symptoms, and every year I got the shot I got the actual flu really really bad. Every year I didn’t I got a minor cold or two. That doesn’t even get into the possible effects it can have on the body.

Washing hands still remains the most effective way to combat most illness.
 
59 year old guy next to me in pre-op for back surgery gets asked 15 minutes before the procedure if he'd like the flu shot while he was there. I got asked the same thing previously and declined.

He says sure that's ok and I instantly thought how much fun that would be to be recovering from back surgery and getting the flu simultaneously :confused:

I didn't get flu shots before but I damn sure won't be now.
