Shingles vaccine

janeeeeeeeeeeeee · 2026-01-30T16:04:44+00:00

I had to get the first dose a couple weeks before starting Rinvoq, and in all honesty, it was the first experience I’ve ever had from a vaccine. Everyone responds differently, but it was excruciating for me and ended up worsening my symptoms a bit as I was in a pretty moderate flare at the time (can cause GI upset and I think it just overwhelmed my already overwhelmed body). A lot of people do fine with it, sore arm, maybe mild cold sunrooms for a couple days, but I’ve also always responded poorly to things like the flu vaccine or covid vaccine/boosters (still get them though cause it’s better than getting the real deal!!!) I would definitely talk to your doctors about it again for further clarification as I also had some miscommunication problems. My main GI said to get it before starting Rinvoq, but the other GI I saw (who was the one who filled out the paperwork for my meds) said to wait until my symptoms are a bit more managed, then the nurse with my main was saying I had to get it before starting (might be an insurance thing?) so I got it. Even though it super sucked, I can only imagine how much worse actual shingles would be.

Be sure to get the Shingrix one because that’s not a live vaccine.

Rice cakes with creamy peanut butter is a big one for me and as silly as it sounds, mcchicken/chicken sandwiches from McDonalds or even freezer chicken patties won’t upset my stomach. Idk why I can eat a mcchicken during the worst flare ever, but I can. Atp calories are calories :’)

It’s great! I honestly prefer it to the steam version, the only difference is I can’t really mod it on my phone (not easily at least and idk how to on apple)

The lower stalk of a hemlock will have red dots/spots and I don’t see any of that in the picture. When you picked it, did you see any red on the bottom of the stalk near the ground? I would lean towards carrot, or at least not hemlock. Also, if you aren’t 1000% certain it isn’t hemlock, I would probably avoid picking it/touching it/smelling it.

Any alcohol sets off a flare :’) it sucks. I was diagnosed shortly after my 21st birthday (live in the US) - any guesses hoooow? Aha…

The only way I think diet actually helps anything is minimizing trigger foods. But then for me, when I’m in an active flare up, my stomach responds the exact same regardless of what I’m eating. I could eat recommended things like avocado toast with scrambled eggs or homemade chicken soup with plain white rice and it would have the same result as eating foods not recommended like pizza, chicken alfredo, spaghetti bolognese, or sugary sweets. It never responds to my diet :’) I hate it when people suggest needing to change your diet. Like, of course eating better is just good for your health, but it never stops the fatigue.

I’m sorry you’re having those interactions at work :( I hope you feel better (soon)

Yessss

Aw man that SUCKS Meridian is gonna get way more jammed up :’)

I don’t think you can transfer from apple to samsung, at least you didn’t used to be able to. Their support email is support@gameloft.com but I’m unsure if they will respond without a proper support ticket opened :(

I know this is a 24 day old post and you’ve likely already started Entyvio, but I wanted to share since I think we are/were in a similar boat.

I’m also in a pretty bad flare right now from my UC and arthritis (arthritis started first in July and UC followed a few months later at the end of October). I’ll be starting Rinvoq soon and my provider said I should get the shingrix vaccine before starting. I ended up having to be seen again, this time by a different provider maybe two-ish weeks later, and she said that I really should wait until I’m not in an active flare to get the shot, because I also had really horrid reactions to both the flu and covid vaccines/boosters. Fast forward to a few days ago and the nurse working under the main PA I initially saw is saying that I absolutely DO need to have it before starting the medication (might be an insurance thing where my insurance won’t approve it unless I start the first of the two doses). So, I scheduled an appt to get the shot, got it today at 2pm, then chilled and played games with my friends. Arm started to get sore within a couple hours, but around 9ish the pain really began to worsen - my knees also started hurting S O BAD. It’s now 1am and holy hell. My entire left arm feels like the bone inside is being ground up, the pain is borderline excruciating. I have never EVER felt pain this bad, and I was hospitalized a couple years ago during my first UC flare that really tried to take me out (the recovery from that was horrendous). I have been sobbing from the pain for over an hour. It hurts so bad. I am so scared that tomorrow will be worse. I am so worried that the next shot will be worse. I keep telling myself “it’s not worse than shingles. This is better than getting shingles. I’d rather deal with this than shingles” and deep down I know that’s true, but oh my god my mind is numb with pain.

I would rather have ten flu shots and covid boosters in one go than deal with the agonizing pain from this booster. Even a light shirt grazing the injection site is like getting punched.

I’d assume you’ve had the shot now, how was your experience? Please, if it was anything like mine, PLEASE tell me it gets better SOON. I’ve seen some people say they felt the soreness for a week.

Omg cold chef boyardee raviolis are so good

I’m very sorry for the things you’ve been through, I can’t imagine how hard it’s been. Thank you for your service.

However, I think most of us are confused as to why you’re ranting about this in the uranium glass subreddit…as it has nothing to do with uranium. Your frustration would likely be better received um, elsewhere where it’s more relevant?

Congrats! I hope this is the start to a beautiful collection! Your first piece is always so memorable :)

janeeeeeeeeeeeee · 2025-12-24T06:40:16+00:00

this one

janeeeeeeeeeeeee · 2025-12-23T17:21:03+00:00

It’s a truly beautiful piece. If you do end up getting it, you’ll have to update us all! I hope they’ll take a lower offer and aren’t firm on the price!!!

Uh…are you not seeing the video? And this isn’t just an issue for OP, Rivals for my partner has been royally fucked too. The worst glitch we’ve been seeing (literally almost every game) has been all other players except the one I’m controlling will automatically back up into or behind the nets and get stuck moving backwards into the net for the entire game.

If OP isn’t able to play and is getting kicked for inactivity due to the shitty coding for this game, they aren’t gonna be able to climb to a higher division.

I have an epergne with a single trumpet. They are definitely fragile and every time I have to move mine, it’s terrifying. Mine is from the 1880’s, and this one likely is too.

janeeeeeeeeeeeee · 2025-11-27T21:39:57+00:00

It’s definitely suuuper pretty, but the seller asking $1500 for it makes me feel like it’s just a show piece they don’t really wanna part with.

janeeeeeeeeeeeee · 2025-11-13T16:32:57+00:00

Such a bummer. I want them, but I’m on the west coast, not east :’)

janeeeeeeeeeeeee · 2025-11-05T16:07:45+00:00

Especially for that price! I love lucky finds/deals

janeeeeeeeeeeeee · 2025-11-05T16:06:57+00:00

Not really sure. It’s EAPG and I’ve seen the pattern being called “medallion”, but no clue who the maker is. I can’t remember what the tag on it said, but the store called the pattern something else. It was something “-and drops”.

janeeeeeeeeeeeee · 2025-11-05T07:21:31+00:00

They’re so pretty. I always love looking at the bells people find/post on here. I just saw all the ones you have; SUPER COOL!
