Symptom narrative

Oct 17, 2025, beginning apprx 24 hrs post flu vaccine administration, noticed weakness, extreme fatigue, generally feeling ill, followed by increase in PHN pain/burning/searing (R), rash starting over dermatome areas affected by the shingles in June (R), facial palsy (R), and difficulty walking d/t nerve pain, decrease in appetite, over the next few days. As it worsened, I inquired about it with an RN at work who suggested that I probably should have opted out (tho I had no way of knowing) and recommended I reach out to my PCP, which I did, and she prescribed Valcyclofir (again as I had in June from hospital physician). My intent/hope of this report is to increase awareness of this potential, promote research (which I would be willing to participate in), so that possible resolutions may be obtained and implemented
