@migizii- Well I had it yesterday and I am ill. My arm hurts and so does the rest of me. I have a fever. I decided to get it because I've known people who have had shingles and they hurt a lot more than I do.
It's pretty much against the human grain to purposely go get something that will make you ill. I get that. But I feel the need to be protected from it. If I begin to feel worse I might change my opinion about the second shot.
Of course the decision is yours to make. Weighing the pros and cons is pretty tough, eh?

@merpreb thanks for sharing and please keep us posted!!
Just thought I would chime in on this one. I had both shots in the Shingrix series last year. From the first I had significant arm pain but it wasn’t that much worse than happens when I have a tetanus shot. The second one wasn’t comfortable but less than the first. I saw my mother repeatedly have shingles and there is no way these shots were any worse or even close to what she went through. Nancy

@hopeful33250 - Teresa is there a chance that you can describe your experience with shingles?
