I am just recovering from a flu virus and am thinking that the virus somehow has triggered some shingles symptoms. I very rarely get the flu, never take the vaccination, and it has been 8 years since my first and only shingles outbreak. So far I have no blisters or rash but that same unforgettable intense itch/burning pain on my left scapula and underarm. All other flu symptoms are gone other than some fatigue. Conclusion? Weakened immune system allows Shingles virus to activate.
