Symptoms: Asthenia, Fatigue, Herpes zoster, Pain, Paraesthesia
Clinical narrative: Developed case of painful shingles on right side of trunk/back.  Itching and tingling started 2 days after shot, along with weakness and fatigue.  Full-blown shingles a week after the flu shot.  Oral steroid (prenisone) was taken for 10 days with not much success.  Pain and sensitivity continued for 1 month, and symptoms have just subsided in the past couple days.  This link between shingles and flu vaccine really needs to be explored - just look at this website to see stories of people THIS YEAR that have had shingles after flu vaccine: Guillian-Barre syndrome is a rare side effect of flu vaccine.  Guess what a complication of shingles is?  Guillian-Barre syndrome.  They are both inflammations of nerves.  There is a link, and people need to be made aware of this potential side effect.  I hope some studies are being done about shingles and flu vaccine.  This has been a horrible month of my life and I will not get the flu shot ever again.
