You may need to start over. You have to get the second dose within two to six months. Ask your doctor.

Re: Hijack This Thread
I had a cousin who got it, and I knew it was nothing I ever wanted to get. As soon as the first vaccine came out, I got it. My husband didn't get it. Lucky for him, I recognized the symptoms as soon as he got it, and he was put on the drug for it right away. Good, because it only helps if you catch it early. Even on the drug, he has a few uncomfortable weeks. Both my sister and my brother have had it, too, although they've now been vaccinated.
I hope they caught it early for you, Maybenaut. Good luck.![Big Hug :bighug:](./images/smilies/bighug.gif)

There is a list of medications that prevent having the vaccine. A history of anaphylaxis can be a problem as well. Also keratitis, inflammation of the cornea, is a rare adverse incident. Fatigue lasting several days & a sore arm is common.
Recently, I was going to get the vaccine, but when my doctor and I read through the adverse side effects, it was recommended that I wait several months. We're hoping my current medical situation will reduce a bit by then.

Re: Hijack This Thread
I had shingles several years ago. That was some horrible stuff! Mine broke out across my lumbar area and shot down my right butt cheek. The first thing they wanted to do was to give give me a bunch of narcotics that I can't take. My bodily functions just don't tolerate such drugs which didn't help a damn bit.
BUT! I found the best solution ever that wasn't narcotics and you didn't even need a prescription! Capzasin Ointment. It hurt like hell rubbing it in almost to the point of tears but within a couple seconds the pain was completely masked and you didn't need any damn pain pills.
Just make sure you wear gloves and don't touch your face, then wash your hands with dish soap like 5 times when you're done to be sure.![Bag :bag:](./images/smilies/bag.gif)

Liverpool has been stripped of its coveted world heritage status after Unesco blamed years of development for an “irreversible loss” to the historic value of its Victorian docks.
The UN’s heritage body concluded at a meeting in China on Wednesday that the “outstanding universal value” of Liverpool’s waterfront had been destroyed by new buildings, including Everton football club’s new £500m stadium.
The decision is a humiliating blow for the city and gives Liverpool the ignominious distinction of being only the third place to lose the status in nearly 50 years. The other delisted sites were Oman’s Arabian Oryx Sanctuary in 2007 and the Dresden Elbe valley in Germany in 2009.
Liverpool has enjoyed world heritage status since 2004 – placing it alongside the Taj Mahal and Great Wall of China – as recognition for its role as a major trading power during the British empire and the architectural beauty of its waterfront.

Re: Hijack This Thread
It’s crazy how sore I am this morning but I guess I’m lucky I didn’t break my freaking neck! Last evening I was racing Wally (my brain damaged ½ coonhound ½ doberman) around the field on the 4wheeler, something we do almost every day but this time the grass was wet and I hit a dip in the ground the wrong way doing a tight circle and went airborne. I hit the ground pretty hard but was very lucky the 4wheeler landed right side up and not on top of me. My left wrist is pretty badly bruised; right forearm is fairly torn up and right hand pretty damn sore but nothing broken thankfully. I have a big scrape on my right side ribcage, a big painful bruise on the inside of my left thigh and a hell of a headache. Good thing I have a Doctor in the house! We had to go back out this morning tracing the tire tracks in the wet grass back to find my glasses. I was very happy they weren’t damaged!

I took a spill a few evenings ago. There is an unresolved intermittent water leak at my condo, and I was walking down the tiled hallway, barefoot --slipped on water and fell face first full-force into a bedroom door jam. Amazingly, as much as my face was busted up, my glasses didn't break.

I dropped a 2x18x24 maple cutting board on my right foot, hit the first two toes. The bruising is nearly over, but they were purpleblack for a couple of days. Who can tell if your toes are broken?

I had shingles, it sucked really bad. They want to give you pain pills that I can't take, narcotic pain relievers have always caused me way more GI pain than they're worth. But just in case anyone here does get shingles there is one thing that really works and is not a narcotic! Capsaicin ointment, it hurts like hell for the couple seconds it takes to rub it in but seconds later, BAM! the pain is almost completely masked! Great stuff!
