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

You are a beautiful bride!!

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 miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

    A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
