At the advice of my PCP, I decided to get an updated Shingles Vaccine injection. (previous injection was greater than 15 years ago). June 19, 2025 received Shingrix injection @ ~1:00pm in the left arm June 20-23, left arm felt heavy, sore but nothing bad June 24-25, the top of the right ear lobe became itchy but no rash June 25-29, a rash started on the inside of the left arm, near the elbow. Very itchy. Nothing seemed to work in relieving the itchiness. Some internal achiness in the shoulder area. Arm strength seems to be impacted. June 30th called Dermatologist to get an appointment. Rash was spreading to front waistline area. July 3rd, went to Dermatologist, diagnosed as hives, likely as a result of an allergic reaction to the Shingrix injection. Dermatologist prescribed medicine to alleviate the hives. July 3-7, rash spread to the right butt area, around the back side of the waist. Other areas where itchiness has started including the upper chest, shoulders and back of the neck, as well as down the leg toward the knee area. No issues below the knee. July 7, uncertain if getting better, still uncomfortable as hell. The initial areas on the inside of the left arm appear to be waning away, rash still visible but smaller, not itching.
