I have been coming in to see Lance for years. If I can’t see him I use Chris. But have seen Debbie or Jennifer. I have always respected their diagnosis and did what they said. Lance is my favorite because he knows my history and he diagnosed my thyroid disease first visit. And they are busy people and the time does get away from them, but when you are good you do have lots of patients that wanna see you. Patience’s is a virtue so sometimes you have to wait even with appointment. But it’s worth it if you have confidence in your Dr.

Fast Pace Health, Oakland - 7400 US-64
Fast Pace Health in Oakland is absolutely outstanding! Thought I had COVID symptoms as I had a VERY hard time breathing so I just walked in. Wait time was very short for a walk in. All personnel were very professional and extremely helpful. Went over and above what I expected. Tested negative for COVID but they ran several other tests to help diagnose my breathing problem. Normally I don’t give high reviews but they were outstanding in every way. Would most definitely highly recommend this health care facility.

Short Wait Time

Covid testing!! So I have3kids that DON’T like any kind of doctors office not even when it’s a checkup.My middle child was exposed to covid at some point last week and started having some symptoms late at night so we decided to bring him in. The wait was about the same as any urgent clinics&we were able to wait in the car until called. The lady that called, Kim maybe? Was a bit rude and eager to get off the phone. But when told to come in, we were actually met by nurse Jessica and went to room 1 I think. My child was just in tears as to what was going to be done. That changed pretty quickly though.The nurse noticed the fear immediately grabbed some tissues and knelt down beside him. She asked was he nervous &he said yes, the nurse agreed that was okay and said she too was nervous bc this virus is scary, but that’s why he needed a test to see if he was sick. She was SOO patient with him&explained everything she was doing.&they talked about Xbox-&by doing that she was able to get his blood pressure etc AND swab him without a flinch. This mama was AMAZED! GUC is definitely our new urgent care! Although he tested positive, his nurse Jessica was all he talked about. Highly recommend!!!

I go to this office before i go anywhere! I have always had a great experience and even when the family had to go in together. I hate needles but they have a nurse that’s very gentle and sweet. They are very informative on what they are doing to you and for you. They explain everything they can and think you need to know. I would recommend them any time.

I went in not knowing what was wrong, but felt like I was dying. The hospital was slammed with people having the flu, but they got me in fast and checked me out. I ended up in ICU having surgery and on heavy IV antibiotics because I had a kidney infection that went septic. They released me 2 days before Christmas luckily, so I could be home with my 4 children. The care and beside manner was excellent. Thank you for saving my life and getting me back home with my children.

About the shingles

Shingles is a painful, blistering skin rash caused by the varicella-zoster virus. According to the National Library of Medicine, the varicella-zoster virus is the same virus that causes chickenpox (NLM).

Your body goes into dormancy once you've experienced chickenpox. According to the National Library of Medicine, the chickenpox virus can reactivate and produce shingles if it does so several years later.

According to the National Library of Medicine, people over 60 who had chickenpox before the age of 12 months are most likely to develop shingles. You may be more susceptible to shingles if your immune system has been weakened by illness or medicines.

Shingles Symptoms

According to the National Library of Medicine, the main symptom of shingles is a painful skin rash that starts on the spine and wraps around to the front of the chest or abdomen. Some people may develop rashes around their eyes, lips, and ears, according to the National Library of Medicine.

Before rashes appear, pain, tingling, and burning on one side of the body are common symptoms, according to the National Library of Medicine. Following these feelings, red skin patches and little blisters appear, which rupture open to form small, dry, crusty sores. Shingles sores usually heal in two to three weeks with no scarring.

According to the National Library of Medicine, other shingles symptoms include:

  • Fever and chills
  • Headache
  • Malaise
  • Joint pain
  • Muscle weakness
  • Swollen lymph nodes
  • Drooping eyelid
  • Hearing loss
  • Vision problems
  • Taste problems

How to contract the shingles

The varicella-zoster virus reactivates in your body after you've had chickenpox, resulting in shingles. According to the CDC, you cannot receive shingles from someone else who has it. Chickenpox can, however, be contracted from someone who has shingles, increasing your chances of developing shingles later.

According to the National Library of Medicine, no one knows why the varicella-zoster virus suddenly becomes active again years later. According to the findings, many people who had mild cases of chickenpox are unaware they even had the virus in the first place.

What vaccines can help prevent shingles?

Two doses of the Shingrix shingles vaccination can prevent shingles. The Shingrix vaccine, according to the CDC, can also reduce your risk of shingles complications. According to the business, this shingles shot, which is given in the upper arm, is more than 90% effective in preventing shingles in people 50 and older with a good immune system.

Should I get the shingles vaccine?

The CDC recommends shingles immunization for adults aged 50 and up, as well as those aged 19 and up, who have compromised immune systems as a result of disease or pharmaceutical therapy. It also recommends having the shingles vaccination if you've had shingles and/or chickenpox in the past, as well as if you've had another shingles vaccine called Zostavax, which is no longer available in the United States.

What are the side effects?

The shingles vaccine, according to the CDC, can induce temporary side effects that make it difficult to accomplish ordinary tasks for two to three days.

The following are some of the possible shingles vaccine side effects:

  • Sore arm with mild to moderate pain
  • Redness and swelling at the injection site
  • Tiredness
  • Muscle pain
  • Headache
  • Fever and chills
  • Stomach pain
  • Nausea

According to the CDC, side effects are more common in younger people, and you may have a reaction to the shingles injection after both doses. It is recommended that you take over-the-counter pain medicines such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen if you experience side effects after getting the shingles vaccine.

According to the CDC, another possible side effect of the shingles vaccine is Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS). GBS is a rare but dangerous illness in which your immune system targets the peripheral neurological system, which controls the nerves in your brain and spinal cord, according to the National Library of Medicine.

Can I get a shingles vaccine if I’m younger than 50?

According to the CDC, you should only get the shingles vaccine if you are at least 19 years old and have a weakened immune system due to disease or medications used to treat a disease if you are under 50 years old and have a weakened immune system due to disease or medications used to treat a disease. Consult your health-care professional if you have any concerns.

Will Medicare or my health insurance pay for a shingles vaccine?

The shingles vaccine is covered by most Medicare prescription drug plans, such as Part D, but not by Medicare Part A (Hospital Insurance) or Medicare Part B, according to Medicare.gov (Medical Insurance). Your health insurance plan may or may not cover the shingles vaccine, depending on the type of policy you have. To see if the shingles vaccine is covered under your plan, contact Medicare or your health insurance provider.
