Flu Shot and SFN Flares?

SwedishYogi · 10-28-2017, 05:31 PM

Hi pinkynose!

To me it seems reasonable with the connection between the flu shot and your SFN flare.
I seem to be getting an increase in pain/tingling/numbness everytime I get a cold/fever. I've got a similar behaviour with an increase on the onset of the cold which peaks and then subsides over a couple of days after the cold/fever is gone. The connection for me is quite clear and I do my best to boost my immunsystem as to avoid this.

Is there anyone else who has noticed a similar connection?

Thanks for responding and welcome. I hope someone out there responds. I'm sure many people on NT receive flu shots and I would have thought more people would have responded. Usually there is more participation. Perhaps it's a dry spell. I have been guilty of not checking in for periods of time so perhaps that's what's going on with others.

I've be away for awhile......long story but.....

I got my flu shot on Oct 2nd. Even though I felt horrible (found out later it was severe kidney infection and on the backside of Epstein barr that I had no idea was happening) my long time APRN insisted I get the shot. She was afraid of what the actual flu might do to my body if I got it.

So.....no issues with a flare for SFN after my flu shot. Same as usual.
