Dementia is no joke. Get your shingles vax, and for that matter other applicable vax’s, too. There is a significant reduction in risk of dementia for shingles, and RSV, flu, and covid vax’s. Proposed mechanism is general reduction in neural inflammation.

I wish I could get my shingles vax. I fall into this stupid age range where I was born and caught chicken pox before its vaccination existed, but I’m still “too young” to receive the shingles vaccination. Never mind that I’ve seen younger people than me experience shingles, and that shit’s no joke. I’d get the vaccine in a heartbeat if it were possible.
Alas, I’ll just have to hope I don’t spontaneously develop it within the next 12 or so years.
When I get dementia I can listen to my favourite album by The Caretaker for the rest of my life though!
At least you’ve got that going for you. :-D
If I had shingles as a teenager, is the vaccine still recommended?
I wonder if GLP-1s will end up reducing the risk of dementia since they decrease inflammation.
I think that’s being studied right now.
I miss this show!
I think they stopped with a based take as well, that in a period of excessive police violence, they did not feel that making a lighthearted show about a police department as nice people was still appropriate.
The doctor said all my bleeding was internal. That’s where the blood’s supposed to be.
What’s the name?
Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
I thought she was hilarious on this show and figured she’d be a good comedian.
Than I watched her Netflix special…
I thought she was awful on this show and never bothered to watch anything else by or involving her. (I enjoyed B99 otherwise.) I don’t regret the choice.
Yeah the show was good in spite of her
Did she totally bomb it or was it just kind of problematic?
Completely not funny.
I pulled a band tee out of my closet yesterday and saw the tour date. I said to myself, I’m so glad I went a couple months ago. It was fucking April.
