I’ve been off work all week with old persons disease , the Shingles .
“We have a vaccine for it now, “ the nurse told me.”
“But we generally only offer to to over 50s”
I’m fifty in 2 months.
That’s just a cruel thing to tell me.
I can’t get out of bed for more that 10 mins. My eyes are too sore to read. I’ve developed an unhealthy fixation on the ‘big game’ tonight as something to look forward to.
I feel ya. I contracted shingles when my immune system was down due to some brutal treatment I was undertaking. Laying in bed one night I thought what is this, I don’t like this one bit, it was bloody painful, do I call an ambulance ? Then I realised what it was. Had to get the course of antivirals. Then a few weeks later I contracted COVID, more antivirals
2022 was my annus horribilis
We’re told to have the vaccine so I went in to have it recently and guess what, they were out of stock
