I did get new Singles vaccine. Part 1 was a piece of cake, part 2 knocked me on my butt for a few days but bounced back. My wife is living with Shingles since being a teenager, not something I wish on anyone.

I also got the pneumonia vaccine.

Early Poster mentioned Gabapentin, which works for me. Not well understood, but my peripheral neuropathy is insane. Imagine walking up screaming, thinking your feet are being submerged in boiling oil. Not pleasant at all. I'd flip off covers, turn on lights and stare at healthy feet telling myself it was a dream but, the dream never stopped when I was awake. Gab helps, only the time I can fully disconnect my brain from that sensation is during intense exercise. Hence Triathlons are my idea of fun.
