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.

You might be able to talk your medical professional into getting it for you regardless. Worth a try.

my pharmacy charges $100 for a shot of shingle vaccine (if it's not covered by insurance). i can think of few better public investments than vaccination.

If I had shingles as a teenager, is the vaccine still recommended?

Yes. Only those who are pregnant, currently have shingles, or are allergic to the ingredients should avoid it.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

holy shartballs that's way too young for shingles. i thought getting it in my early 30s was bad enough.

I wonder if GLP-1s will end up reducing the risk of dementia since they decrease inflammation.

[-] nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 3 weeks ago

I think that’s being studied right now.

When I get dementia I can listen to my favourite album by The Caretaker for the rest of my life though!

[-] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 1 points 3 weeks ago

At least you've got that going for you. :-D

[-] infinitesunrise@slrpnk.net 3 points 3 weeks ago

Is this recent science? My partner was talking about the shingles dementia risk just the other day. Right before I got my yearly vaccinations!

[-] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 3 points 3 weeks ago

If you click the links above you will see the lay articles are from July and August of 2025. How do you define recent?

The study itself is from June 2025: Lower risk of dementia with AS01-adjuvanted vaccination against shingles and respiratory syncytial virus infections https://www.nature.com/articles/s41541-025-01172-3

The doctor said all my bleeding was internal. That's where the blood's supposed to be.

Ooh, my favorite flavor: Blue!

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.

I thought she was hilarious on this show and figured she'd be a good comedian.

Than I watched her Netflix special...

[-] toynbee@lemmy.world 16 points 3 weeks ago

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.

[-] monkeyslikebananas2@lemmy.world 13 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah the show was good in spite of her

[-] BananaIsABerry@lemmy.zip 7 points 3 weeks ago

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.
