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.

    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...

    I have my maxed amount of epidural shots of my cervical DDD....(and no one cares about my lumbar DDD)..... I've done physical therapy, muscle relaxers, Amitriptyline, Nortryptiline, desipramine.....narcotics... So I decided to go to a spine specialist and they have me on Gabapentin. Its been two weeks and it did nothing for my lumbar ever... but it did seem to help my cervical and arm/hand pain...
