    flu , covid and new to me this year pneumonia vax all on board this morning....
    Just a heads up...don't  do the flu/covid and shingles same day. Do them maybe 2 weeks or more apart.
    All 3 the same day can make people very sick for a couple of days.
    Shingles? My goodness; how old are you?

    Just kidding; I had my first one about six weeks ago and need to do the second soon. It's the only shot that ever made me feel ill (though not for very long). I won't be mixing the next one with anything else...
    I’m 35 and got shingles earlier this year. I got off incredibly lucky in that I noticed and got a diagnosis and treatment early enough. If treated within the first three days, your experience is significantly less shitty. That said, I was definitely regretting not having had the shot.

    did flu/covid same day last year with no issues other than sore arms. can report same this year thus far.

    did shingles a few years ago after hearing about my sil experience actually getting shingles...

    Flu/covid on its own should be easy for most people with maybe some soreness. Same for shingles on its own. Getting all 3 at once is problematoc for a couple of days.
    I had both shingles shots a few years ago and am glad I did after hearing and seeing what some people go through

    i think it is low probability but the virus never leaves your body. it stays there. i have a stressful job so that increases the risk. i don't want to play around with that again. 

    at least i can't get it in the same place again. i had it on my left ribcage. it hurt too much to wear a shirt at times.

    Sometimes I wonder how successful I'd be if I'd have gotten the measles. Sadly, I'll never know.

    Reminds me of a meme I once saw showing 13-year-olds in a West Virginia coal mine in 1910 or something juxtaposed with kids huddled up crying (possibly after a mass shooting but who knows).

    Like, do we really want kids getting lung cancer working 72-hour weeks in coal mines because some others  had to do that in the past?

    South Carolina schools recently sent home unvaccinated kids to stem a growing measles outbreak. It turned out 5 of them were infected and, if they'd been at school, could've unwittingly spread it to their classmates for days.

    That kind of precaution is now illegal in Idaho.

    So if Idaho is now for medical freedom, I would hope that would have to include reproductive rights as well. Of course they will find a way to be hypocrites about that.

    yeah, strong people roll the dice with blindness, brain swelling, degenerative neurological diseases, pregnancy complications, oh, and death. Can't forget death. Only weak people die of shit. 

    Let's all sit around and let a television series from 50 years ago dictate how to treat our health. That show even predates doctors prescribing smoking for pregnancy nausea. Well done, skipper!
