Second shingles shot successful...

rew4er2nail

slight prick, but otherwise... positive pitch

re: without a hitch

the first innoculation approximately

five months prior also nary glitch.

 

Preemptive needling measure

regarding getting fully

immunized at CVS

(Zieglerville, Pennsylvania)13:08

military time May First

2020 bruised left arm update

status report regarding

preventive measure well worth

 

suspenseful interlude preliminary

delay imposed wait

while pharmacist at

aforementioned Consumer Value

Store (common everyday Joe)

bided time to cogitate

proactive decision to become

fully immunized against

Chickenpox, an infection

courtesy varicella zoster virus

later in life ditto bugaboo

can cause shingles reactivate

head by whim of herpes

zoster the latter occurring late

adult life, neither rhyme,

nor reason weakened immune

system (possibly stress)

suddenly avails blimey candidate

to experience shingles tatted

telltale rash with radiating,

shooting, tingling pain

affecting one side of body decorate

ting once lovely fleshed

bones with red fluid filled blisters

said dry out pustules dry out

and crust over within seven to

ten days, which above

outbreak preceded by fever, chills,

 

and fever, whereby raised

pimply red Morse code a dash

of dots, (albeit raised) on skin,

and redness not to agitate

impossible mission (more

difficult then threading camel

thru eye of needle) tingling

under skin topping off slate

head symptoms with upset

stomach, no matter physician

(perhaps doctor tending one

after another family member

think Marcus Welby, M.D.,

Doctor Who, Doogie Howser...)

Nope, no cure for shingles,

but treatment can decrease rate

complications arise, postherpetic

neuralgia (condition affects

nerve fibers and skin, causing

burning painful state

lasting long after rash and

blisters of shingles disappear.

 

Unbeknownst why once

chicken pox runs rampantly askew

said subsequently taking

their furlough into nerve tissue

tinier, yet more mighty then

garden variety/generic bacteria

inexplicably "wake up" and

travel along nerve fibers moo

ving utterly uncowed wreaking

havoc as shingles re: herpes

(dizz) zoster relentlessly

assaulting beastie boy/goo

goo doll as rapacious motley crew.

 

Please to report, I experience(d)

minimal adverse reactions such as,

redness, no swelling at the injection site,

yes muscle pain, tiredness, but

no headache, shivering, fever,

nor upset stomach plagued me

lovely skeletal musculature,

albeit generic healthy male.
