Additional Information: GSK receipt date: 11-JUN-2025 This case was reported by a patient via interactive digital media. The patient reported that shingles were awful. Shwe would never forget when she was diagnosed on August 6, 2012. It was the worst pain she had ever experienced. She did not even had a bad rash. She reported that had a small rash on her hip and a faint one on her abdomen, but the pain from that disease never went away. She still took medication for the neuropathy and neuralgia she suffered from. It was not as bad as it had been, but it still brought fear to her heart and mind whenever she thought about it. The patient reported that she had gotten the shingles shot it did not stop her from getting shingles again, but it was supposed to make it less severe. Still, shingles felt like a disease from the devil because the pain was awful. She had been through a lot in her life. she was burned when she was seven years old. She was hit by a car when she was a little girl. Even later in life, she had a hip replacement and ended up with two blood clots and an aneurysm. Then she got an infection and was hospitalized. She went into the hospital in June and did not come home until September. But shingles were the worst pain she had ever experienced. After that, she told everyone she met, even strangers, to get the shot. She told them about shingles because she did not want anyone still do not want anyone to suffer like she did. It was horrible, horrible pain. she cried and screamed. She thought she was going to go absolutely crazy. Sometimes it felt like she was being electrocuted the pain was that bad. So, if had ever had chickenpox, she urged to get the shingles shot. She did not care what it cost, because if you did not and you got shingles, you might wish you had. Not everyone who got shingles suffered as badly as she did, but she would never take that chance again.
