I am a 65 yr old female. Last October I was given a low dose flu shot. Within 3 days I felt like I was getting the flu, my entire body ached. Within a week of the vaccine it was obvious I had the shingles even though I received the shingles vaccine a couple of years earlier. Because of the symptoms I felt within three days of the flu shot I am convinced the vaccine caused me to have the shingles. I was in agony due to the nerve pain for a month. The son of a friend of mine became sick when he was eight years old, was a mysterious illness. Doctors finally got to the bottom of it. But when the mother took him to the second specialist, she said the first question he asked was 'has he had the flu shot'. She told him no, he told them to never get one, that says a lot to me.Needless to say, I will never have another one.
