7. I did, as well as the flu shot.

I usually get a little reaction to both Covid and Flu shots but the Shingles shots were a whole different reaction. It was so sore that I mentioned it to the person at CVS who gave them to me. He said the Shingles shot is often very, very sore for a while afterwards. It was!!!!! Since I know people who had Shingles and they told me what it is like I was not a baby and sucked it up.

By the way, I get 32 injections of Botox into my scalp, neck and shoulders every three months and those HURT LIKE HELL! You can even near the needle go "crunch, crunch" as it goes through to the skull since the shots are around the ears too. No fun!!!!! And it hurts almost as much when I have to pay what Blue Shield won't cover.
