Hey Pete,
Thanks for the info on Shindrix. My husband and I saw my ENT, and he said by all means to get it. We did, and had about the same reaction as you. Will get second one in August.
Also thanks for sharing with me your ‘slowing of Prednisone’. I must have been going too fast on the reduction when I got the teeth pain. Now it is a very small, slow withdrawal. Currently at 8, hope to get to 5 by next infusions in September.

My reaction to the second dose of shingrix was much more pronounced. I had the “tetanus” shoulder for several days. I also had flu-like symptoms the day after it.
