Friday, the 13th, (i mean really? That’s the day the chose for 2nd Shingles shot?!) is the day I received my 2nd injection of the Shingles vaccine. And again, they warned me of the possible side effects. The 1st shot side effects were so bad for 3 days that I almost didn’t go back for…

UGH! I thought I was going to be able to sidestep the side effects of this shingles vaccine. I felt totally fine for about 10 hours and then WHAMMO! Fevers, drenching sweats, chills, joint pain, nausea and vomiting. I knew that there was a “possibility” of not feeling well….but I had no idea it would…
