I had shingles the next day after receiving the flu shot. I wonder if there is a
connection. Now, 5 months later, I have traces of shingles. The first 3 months was
really painful with at least 5 different kinds of pain.

Hi Anonymous,
Thank you for your question and welcome to Empowher. This is a common thread that we see every year during flu season. Here is the thread https://www.empowher.com/community/ask/can-flu-shot-lead-shingles. I hope this helps as it appears that shingles is a common adverse reaction.
Good luck,
Missie
