Hello @midwestgal75 and welcome to Connect. I am sorry to hear of your severe reaction to the Shingles vaccination. That must have been very uncomfortable. Everyone's response to a vaccine (or medication) is different.
As someone who has had Shingles, I can certainly describe a case of Shingles as being extremely painful, and the nerve pain lasted for several weeks. I had many sleepless nights. Understanding the risks of vaccines and weighing the risks against the benefits is an important consideration for each person to make individually.

I usually take a few sips of liquid benedrol before any vaccine
A nurse I knew yrs ago shared this
Had only bad reaction to pneumonia vaccine but since all the Covid ones my labs became not normal
