I got round 2 Wednesday. Like Hermit above described, headaches, fever, and some muscle soreness. This time the muscle soreness was in the legs, after shot 1 soreness was in neck/back and legs. I slept a lot. As far as arm soreness, only when somebody touches the shot area.

The tinnitus which I first experienced the day after I got the Shingrix shot has unfortunately returned, as my ENT warned might happen. It returned last week and this time it has not gone away. The idea that I may have to live with this forever is depressing.

No reaction to either the first or second shot except for mild arm soreness for 1 or 2 days.

Sorry this happened again ..maybe it will lessen or go away, does this in any way change your feelings that the vaccine was probably the reason it happened?

Absolutely not. The data I uncovered in my search in the VAERS database eliminated any doubt I had that my deafness and tinnitus were indeed a direct result of the Shingrix vaccine. It wasn't just the high percentage of deafness cases which occurred following the Shingrix vaccine out of the deafness cases following all vaccines. It was also the descriptions of the symptoms among those who attributed their deafness to the Shingrix vaccine. There was a consistent pattern of the symptoms beginning within 24 hours of having received the vaccine.

My DH got tinnitus from influenza. He has been taken a supplement called Taurine which was recommended by a doctor friend which has really helped with the ringing of the ears. DH takes three 1000 mg pills of Taurine a day. The ENT doctor scoffed at the Taurine but it has really helped DH. The other things that help DH with the tinnitus are : avoiding all caffeine, avoiding all aspirin (even in cremes like Bengay) and reduction of stress to the extent possible. Hope this helps.

Slightly off topic, but when Mrs Wino and I got our second shingles dose, the pharmacist highly recommended that we come back and get the measles vaccine in a few weeks because of our age. Apparently, if you were vaccinated as a child in the early to mid sixties, you probably need a booster because the vaccine at that time was not very good.
So, because measles seems to be a thing again, we both got the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) shots yesterday, with no issues or reaction for either of us.

my 94 yo father has been suffering with a case of shingles for the past 3 weeks. Of course Zostavax wasn't released to market until he was 81 and his doctor never encouraged him to get the shot. I mistakenly assumed he had received it at some point in the last decade. He took a week of antivirals but he originally went to a urgent care and they thought it was a skin rash as ti was in the early stages so it was almost 2 weeks in before he went to his regular doc and got the correct diagnosis.

wmc I am so sorry to hear your 94 year old father is suffering from shingles. I was so sick when I had a bad case of shingles at age 50 I think I would not have survived it had I been in my 90s. If he is in a great deal of pain and cannot sleep he might want to get a prescription for gabapentin, that helped me with the pain and helped me sleep. If he continuers to have nerve pain after the rash heals, lidocaine patches (you can get ones with more lidocaine by prescription) might help. I am so sorry for your dad.

Interesting.
They’ve had a pretty good outbreak in Southern France. According to the CDC, people born after 1957 should get a booster shot. Well I remember having the measles at maybe 7 or 8, never vaccinated, but, you know, without getting tested to absolutely confirm my childhood memory, I decided to get the booster. DH being several years older is considered not to need it.

Better safe than sorry. There is a fairly large community of anti-vaxxers in our area, so it is ripe for an outbreak. Now that summer is here, I figure that one unfortunate trip to Disneyland by some unvaccinated locals is all that it would take.

Finally got our second shots a couple weeks ago. Took a while to find it at local pharmacies, but we were persistent. Arms hurt for a little while. Other than that no ill effects. Watched a dear friend go through a severe case of shingles - upper chest and back, neck, scalp. Way too close to her eyes which was the big fear. Now, since her case was so severe, even a year out, she still has some remnant pain. So glad the new, more effective version is available now.

I visited four pharmacies in NW Portland yesterday for the first shingles shot, two agreed to put me on a long list. At the recommendation of one pharmacy, I visited the hospital pharmacy in the neighborhood. They made an appointment for me that coincides with a physician's appointment in the same building.

I had my shingles episode last year while in Alaska. Very painful. Kept me from working out for a few weeks. Crescent shaped area across my right abdomen. No residual pain, but it still feels 'weird' when I touch it.

Just got our #2 Shingrix at our local Rite Aid pharmacy, forgot about the sting in this vaccine! But far better than shingles or the neuralgia pain.
We are all up to date as of now :-)

The supply is still not looking good in my neck of the woods, none of the pharmacies have it in stock, the big pharmacy in town stated they don't expect to get a new supply in until January 2020.

New Shingrx Shingles Vaccine
Just a note to those “looking for vaccine availability”, Minuite Clinic, within certain CVS pharmacies has inventory and you schedule your visit on line. Not all CVS stores have a minute clinic and those that do don’t necessarily have the vaccine through the pharmacy. They are totally seperate. ( google Minuite Clinic locations). Once you find one, they will reserve the second dose and schedule your second shot at the time that you have your first shot. They also email confirmation of your appt and a call from the clinic as a redundant reminder. We had our second dose today. Sore arm, but we are done.
