I'm curious to know how many people developed FM after getting vaccinated. I received the flu vaccine and the symptoms started not long after!
I have developed fibromyalgia after swine flu jab in dec 09 and believe there is a link I had a severe reaction and my symptoms started 24hrs later!
No my doctor has had the shot for swine flu and seasonal . I have ask my doc to tell me what causes this he said no one know for sure what triggers it some people.
There is currently no swine flu vaccine available, but one is being formed. However, back in 1976, when an outbreak of swine flu occurred, a vaccine was created and there were concerns that it caused neurological problems, which may have a connection with fibromyalgia. There has been evidence of abnormal brain involvement with fibromyalgia, so the neurological problems could possibly link back to the same problems with the 1976 vaccine, but nothing has been proven to show that the vaccine causes fibromyalgia.
Those that already have fibromyalgia should check regularly to see if there are any changes in their condition. The symptoms of swine flu, which include body aches, sore throat, fatigue, vomiting, diarrhoea, cough and a fever are similar to the symptoms of fibromyalgia, which causes flu like symptoms, so it is important to be make sure that you recognise any changes.
