hey, i'm just wondering if anyone has had weird side-effects after they've been vaccinated for something... i got my tetanus booster 3 days ago and i swear it feels like my body is actually fighting the tetanus. i havent had this bad of a flare up in a long time. my back and knee joints are killing me. i was wondering if it was just me or if others with fibro have had this same response... let me know whatcha think

I really think you should contact your Dr and let them know what iss going on, who knows about vaccines anymore. I do hope that if it is a flare that it won't last too long....Love....Helen

I would call the doc too. But remember how you describe it is exactly how vaccines work. It gives you a little of the actual disease and lets your body fight it. It may of just triggered a bad flare for you but check in with the doc anyway.

always contact your doctor when unusual symptoms begin to appear - esp following vaccines. Gardasil did some weird things to me.

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
