Shingles Vaccine 0wie!
-
I had chicken pox around 5 years ago. Does that mean I SHOULD have the vaccine or shouldn’t? I know there’s something weird about Adult Chicken Pox and Shingles…

Well, this was an interesting experience...
About 8 hours after the injection, I had overwhelming fatigue. I fell asleep at my desk and slept for about two hours - a two hour nap in the early evening is never a good thing.
When I woke up, I had generalized myalgias, and shaking chills. No fever, just chills.
I went to bed at about 10, and of course, couldn't sleep. The chills eventually stopped, and I tossed and turned in the spare bedroom, so as to not disturb Mrs. K. Watched some TV, and finally was able to fall asleep at about 1 AM. Couldn't really sleep on my left side because of pain at the injection site. It's still sore this AM, but a bit better.

What Your Sleep Position Says
About Your Personality?
https://www.nectarsleep.com/p/sleep-positions/
Believe it or not your sleep position can say a lot about your personality. It’s not surprising when you think about the fact that the average human spends a third of their life sleeping. While you might not be able to change your personality, what you can change is how you support your sleep position with the right pillow.
When it comes to sleep positions, the one you tend to favor at night says a lot more about you than you may realize. The way we choose to sleep at night is an intimate question of what we find comfortable and what is comforting to us. The way in which we snooze is something that we do while we are unconscious, making it an honest expression of our innermost selves.
For example, those who rest in the shooting star position tend to be trusting and good communicators. They are open to others and let their guard down easily. They are generally very amiable, likeable people. On the other hand, those who sleep in the baby position, tend to be a bit more reserved and cautious when it comes to new people. Their exterior is tough but it’s only to shelter their kind, sensitive, and cuddly interiors.
There are lots of articles out there claiming certain sleeping positions are better than others but truthfully, if you are suffering from lack of sleep, any position that you find comfortable and that helps you catch those much-needed zzz’s is better than not sleeping at all. We’ve researched some frequently asked questions about sleep positions in order to assist you even further on your quest to beautiful, restful, sleep.

And, of course, looking at psychological analysis and implications from your sleeping position at a site that sells mattresses is totally credible, LOL.
I used to be a stomach sleeper, but I can't turn my head far enough to avoid suffocation - fucking arthritis.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Same here. Then I quit sleeping on my side after getting my sternum cut.
Life is ever-changing...

3 months after my second vaccine shot I still have issues with my arm. Sleep on it the wrong way and it spasms, or if I were to reach back as in driving a car. It’s an injury that is not uncommon and apparently can take months and months to heal, for some. Not a big deal overall when one understands the trajectory.
Also I have the pneumonia vax but my doc said I really didn’t need the shingles vax. I didn’t ask why.

Have three friends come down with shingles since January. Third was ten days ago. I definitely don’t want it therefore I finally got off my duff and had dose #1 about 5 minutes ago at the local pharmacy. Come back 23 June for the other.
Have never experienced any discomfort or reactions in past to any shots. Will see what this one does or if I react like Dr. George.
Put the summer tires on my wife’s car this morning to get the job out of the way just in case.

Next chance I get - I'll try the shingles vaccine. I had shingles about 15 years ago - not pleasant though I did get to visit the Parkland Hospital in Dallas where Kennedy was taken when he visited Dallas. My experience was better but not without the joy of discovering I had shingles.
