Ohhh thank you Doreen!! I am so glad! Believe me, you won't regret it. If you want to know what Shingles is like there are many videos on Youtube, to show you how horrible it is. Anyway, I'm glad you will get that and all your other blood tests!

Oh Doreen, you really should get the shots! Shingles is the most horrible thing, it's agonizing and I had a mild case. The rash was about a 2 inch square on my back and I was in agony until I got to the doctor the next day, and he gave me anti-virials and a pain killer. I never felt such pain in my life, worse than labor and a toothache combined! And since we are older we are more likely to get Shingles than a younger person, although younger people do get it. Go to your doctor and tell him/her you want it. Trust me, it's so worth it! I had mild side effects, but they weren't nearly anything like the Shingles! Ohh just the thought of what I went through terrifies me!

Congratulations @intoxicated yoda on 4 years smoke free! That is so amazing and you should be very proud of yourself! You are an inspiration to all of us.

NOPE!!

I had shingles back in 2018....worst thing I ever had! Anyway, while it does not directly come from quitting smoking, it does come from stress. The virus that causes shingles lays dormant in your body after you had the chicken pox. My suggestion is to get the Shingrex vaccine because Shingles can come back again and again. As soon as I was able, I got it. It's 2 shots, you get the 2nd one from 2-6 months after the first.
