I got the flu shot on Friday (Dec. 19, 2008). I woke up Sunday (Dec. 21, 2008) with pain and tingling in my face, scalp, ear and eye (all on the right side only, stopping at the midline). I had shingles as a teenager, so I knew the symptoms. This morning (Dec. 22, 2008) my doctor prescribed Valtrex, and I hope it is not too late to lessen the severity of the outbreak. I am a healthy 56 year old female and I was very well when I received the flu shot.
