I am 61 and had to go in for a new pacemaker battery. They asked me if I had the flu shot and pneumonia shot. I told them I had the pneumonia shot years ago and no I don't do flu shots. Ten days after the battery replacement I came down with a terrible case of shingles. I have been battling it for 7 months now. And the pain meds they gave me made me feel terrible and my hair was falling out terribly. I had to wean off the pain meds, they are highly addictive. And it has taken over a month to feel anywhere near normal. Dizzy and panic attacks have kept me down for weeks. I have since read that the Obama Care policy is to give those shots without your permission any time you enter a hospital, and tell them you haven't had those shots. They don't even tell your doctor. I am still very uncomfortable where the rash is, but hoping it will heal eventually.
