Has anyone having had the COVID 19 vaccine had a fibro flare-up? Just curious. I know the yearly flu shot causes a flare for me. Having the 1st round of the vaccine tomorrow.

Hi @parus

I had my first vaccination for COVID in mid-January and will be getting my second one tomorrow. I did have fatigue and muscle/joint pain for a few days. I will be interested in hearing about your experience as well.

@parus I never thought of it ,but yes after I had my first vaccine shot I couldnt sleep that night for the pain. But it only lasted for 1 miserable day thank goodness . My arm was sore at the injection site like when I would just get the flu shot but my back,legs arms hurt like fibro flare . And another thing if you or anyone has dry mouth you will feel 10 times drier . I was drinking water all night and next day but it to wore of eventually . So keep losengers or water handy .

@parus Good question! I had my first dose 2 weeks ago, and go back this coming Sunday for the 2nd dose, using Pfizer. Frankly, anymore, I am having trouble figuring what may be a flareup, and what may be the myriad of things going on with me. Fibro is the least of my concerns, honestly. Some days are good, some okay, some just rotten.

I'll watch what happens this weekend.

Hi @parus, I was just thinking about you and wondering how you were feeling after your first COVID vaccination.
I had my 2nd vaccination this week and spent two days in bed, taking Advil for pain and trying to sleep off the fatigue. Three days later, I'm getting back to my former self.

I hope you are not in a fibro flare-up. Will you post when you can?

Sorry, I’m just reading this now (Friday night). I did not have a fibro flare but did have soreness at the shot site and one day of fatigue.

I had my first COVID vaccination a couple of days ago. I have a sore arm and that is about it. Hopefully, that will hold true for the second shot. I am interested in hearing what others are experiencing.
