I also had the flu shot last year in 2010, and that very night I developed shivering chills, like flu symptoms, and the next day a severe headache. I had also nausea, and started develolping a light fever. Then 2 days later I noticed a bump on my forehead which got worse and more painful. I went to the doctor who thought it might be shingles, and told me to come back in two days. Ater 2 days of the pain becoming more and more unbearable, and more red blister like bumps appeared on my face, he confirmed the diagnosis and started me on anti viral meds. I thought there might have been a connection to the flu shot , but my doctor said no way. Still in the back of my mind I've wondered, and now this year I'm debating whether or not to take it, especially since I'm pregnant, and it's recommended. If anyone has any advice or knowledge on this, I would appreciate it.
