Re: Shingles vaccine.
Having suffered ophthalmic shingles back in the late 1990s, I would take the jab. As Keezoy rightly points out, the pain is unbearable. I had to visit Moorfields eye hospital for 11 months, with steroid and other drops, all that time. They did regular eye screening to make sure all inflammation had gone down. The pressure in the eye was double the normal. I was told by Moorfields I was hours away from suffering permanent eye damage! I credited the locum GP in my surgery who saw me on Christmas Eve and sent me straight there with a letter, and an accurate diagnosis, for saving my sight.Re: Shingles vaccine.
I had a small patch of shingles appear on my torso a couple of days before a routine doctor's appointment (back when you could get them ). I asked what this itchy little patch was, he said shingles and prescribed a week's course of strong antiviral tablets which were the size of gob-stoppers. I had to take 5 per day! The shingles cleared up but I still get the occasional itch where the patch was.Re: Shingles vaccine.
We had our shingles vac a few years ago. Mr Mags had two bouts of shingles previously and he suffered a lot.Re: Shingles vaccine.
