Can flu shots trigger a Fibro flareup? I just read this on another site. I never heard of this before. I had gotten a flu shot two weeks ago and I have had a terrible flareup of my Fibro recently. Has anyone heard of this or had problems after a flu shot?

Interesting. I've never had a flu shot, but yes I could see that it could cause a flare because our bodies are so sensitive to chemicals...

I had mine in October and had no problems. Have been having more pain, etc the past 2 weeks but think it has been to long to blame it on the flu shot.
