Wow Amy, Very interesting that you are the only person in this forum that has made and stated this connection with the Guilain-Barre Syndrom, flu vacine & shingles. And find it even more interesting that it seems even doctors aren't aware of the connection or you would think they would ask a patient that they are treating with the shingles condition if they have had a flu short with-in a couple of weeks of coming down with the condition. And, then inform them that it is possible it could be a side effect of the vacine, instead of telling the patient its usually caused by stress or something tramatic in their life that has happened that activated the dormat virus.
I just wonder how many more thousands of people the flu vaccine has activated this virus. I mean we are only a few that have been courious enough to get on the computer and ask the question "can the flu vaccine cause shingles" and come across this site.
Thanks for the comfirmation that indeed there is a connection!
