shingles jab

[Daffodil1958]

Good morning has anyone had a bad reaction to their second shingles jab? First one was fine a slight sore arm but this time well I can’t tell you the reaction I had ….. muscle ache painful ears severe headache and a temperature anyone else suffered or was it just me!!! The arm didn’t hurt how ironic is that.

Yes, but I was the opposite to you . Similar symptoms after the first one. I felt dreadful and had to stay in bed for a day. Thankfully it didn't last long. With the second one I only had an achy arm. Hope you're feeling better soon .

I had a bad reaction to the second jab - sore arm but high temperature, headache, muscle and joint pain. It was bad enough for me to stay in bed for a couple of days.

It was certainly a rough night feet up on the sofa day.

I had a very sore arm with the first one. The second one my arm was so much more painful. The following day I got a very painful armpit and as the morning went on the pain went into my chest. It got worse and hurt to take a deep breath. I rang 111 and they sent an ambulance! They did all the checks and assured me it wasn’t my heart so I opted to stay at home. It took about 5 hours to settle and I was fine the next day.

Bad reaction to firts one but nothing to the second.

Glad to know you are ok just out trying to blow the tiredness away 🤣

Yes and arm hurt too. For over 2 weeks but better than Shingles I thought although I did get another bout but not too bad. Shingrex is only 70% effective but still worth it.

Arm is very red today I know what you mean I’ve had shingles a few times.

Very bad symptoms after the second jab.

Like MadBunny I had a really bad reaction to the first one and was laid up for 2 days. Haven't had the 2nd one yet, I've got that to look forward to.

Haven't had the second yet but still have after effects of the first now 5 weeks later!
