Crazy here in UK.
When I saw all the advertising last year, I went to my doctor to get the vaccine; reception tell me that I could have it if I was turning 65, but, as I was now 68, I had to wait until I was 70. So anybody 66/67/68 or 69 can't have the vaccine but a 65 year old can, I really don't understand that.
I can still have the jab but that will still be after I turn 70.
Suffering today, constant pain across my right chest and back, like a burning sensation. It is bad but I am getting used to it and make myself comfortable, no exercise for a while. When my wife was putting the cream on my rash it was really painful even though she was being really gentle, it's not a nice thing to suffer from.
It is the balance issue that has got me worried more, nearly fallen over numerous times over last 2 days. Weird, just can't stay on my pins. Just a symptom of shingles that your balance can be affected.
Just have to weather the storm and hope it isn't a long bout.
