You really had a rough time with shingles. What bothers me out the shot is that i got the old shot and right after, they announced that their was a new shot that you had to get. It seems silly for them to have not told me to wait for the new shot. I was told to wait until my knee healed before getting the new shot. They way things are going with my knees, I may never have a chance to get them.

Hi!
Yes, I did have a rough time with the shingles. On the positive side, I didn't have the pain that most people have with the rash. No rash, no pain.
I am surprised that it was suggested you get the old shingle shot when the new one was coming out. The only reason why it might have been suggested is because they either didn't know about it or they didn't know how long it would be before the serum would be ready for public use. Who knows?????
I don't know why you would have to wait to get the shot because of your knee. One thing doesn't have anything to do with the other. I am having spinal surgery in 2 weeks and I was all set to get the second part of the shot without any problem......except that they didn't have the part 2 serum. That is another story.
I don't know who told you to wait, but you might want to check with the pharmacy since they are the ones who give the injection and were trained about it.
Have a pain-free day!
