They are just not aware that they have this fear and can’t therefore understand and work on it effectively. Some people just seem to be stuck in emotional toddlerhood.

    Well, some of them do. Shingles was the most painful shot I’ve ever had in my life. It hurt the rest of the day and then some. Measles was the second most painful, but only for the duration of the shot itself and a short time after.

    But I imagine the shingles shot to still be far less painful than actual shingles, from what people have told me of it, so I’d still choose the shot every time.

      I had both shinrix about 3 years ago. I had shingles in '94.

      1. Shingles Fucking hurts.
      2. The shots were nothing after the actual injection.

      The anthrax made my whole arm hurt for a day for each of the six shots. Small pox also hurt but that involves getting jabbed a bunch of time in a little circle at the same time.

      I mean these are the exception and even then you just gotta bite the bullet, the pain is 100% worth it.
