Received the flu shot in my left arm on Sept 15th and approximately 2 weeks later began to experience nerve sensitivity on the left side of my face and head. Noticed a few bumps a few days later on my head and decided to see the doc. I was diagnosed with shingles and am still experiencing nerve sensitivity even though the rash has pretty much dried up. There has to be some relationship. I am a perfectly healthy 55 y/o male and my immune system is working fine. I think it was in 1976 that a previous swine flu vaccine caused an outbreak of Guillian Barre Syndrome. This will probably be my last flu shot.
