My insurance paid for it and I would imagine that Medicare may also. I got it at my local pharmacy and it just took a few minutes. I had a slightly sore arm at the site of the injection, but no other side effects. It certainly is better than getting the shingles. I would certainly recommend having it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309493769526175391.post-15369853868209119612011-10-11T11:51:55.747-05:002011-10-11T11:51:55.747-05:00Oh my gosh you poor thing with shingles, how miser...Oh my gosh you poor thing with shingles, how miserable.

I was so very fortunate that I only got one spot (about the size of a quarter) but it was right around my right temple area into my hairline. I had immediately started treating it with an anti-itch cream but when it didn't clear up in a couple days, went to the doctor who treated it very aggressively. As it blistered, I lightly powdered it with corn starch - I was so afraid that if the blisters broke it could spread on my face or into my eye. God blessed me with only that one small spot.

They are so incredibly painful and the virus that causes them makes you so very ill. The nausea and vomiting are not just your response to pain, they are also a common symptom of the virus. Please be sure to get the rest you need and stay hydrated! I have had shingles 4 times though they have only been severe twice. The first time was the very worst, I was down for 6 weeks, they were the left side of my head up in my hair and on my face and affected my left eye badly. I asked my doctor why I was so sick when the shingles were just on my face and head...he explained to me that it didn't matter where on your body they appear or how many of the blisters you get, the Virus is throughout your entire system just like any virus. *(Normally you only get them once but the specialist said my repeated episodes over the last few years are due to my Scleroderma and compromised immune system.) Bless your heart, here you are, miserable with Shingles and posting tutorials for us. I'll be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers for relief and healing sweet friend.

Then Austin caught it and a couple of days later, Nelson (only a few months old) and I caught it! No wonder my mother couldn't remember me having it, I never did! One brother also got it as an adult and so the other brother rushed out then to get immunised! Congratulations on your Versatile Blogger award.
