To all of you out there with fibro or lupus, do not get the seasonal flu vaccine or the H1N1 vaccine. Both fibromyalgia and lupus are auto-immune diseases cause the release of too many antibodies that attack your muscles causing a wide-spread pain condition. Getting the vaccines will cause your body to release more antibodies than your system can handle and make your condition extremely severe for a week or more. Trust me, I learned my lesson the hard way and am currently suffering from it. I was told not to get them by an E.R. Dr. I know that has lupus and was given the vaccines because of work, but out of fear for my children I got them anyway. Please don’t do it!

1REAL FIBRO IS NOT BELEIVED TO BEAUTOIMMUNE–check your research–
it is a disroder of the nueor system
autoimmune means the body atatks itself
in FMS–teh body is not attacking itslef—there is immune dysfunction menaing it over or under reacts to foreign organisms
i have had teh seasonal flue shot (with fms) and never had a problem..
on the other hand–if i do get the flu–it can make my condition permanangtly worse-as whenever i get a serious injury or illness my condityion tends to permanantktly deteriorate
Most docs are not competant to deal with fms–especially and ER DOC
you PLEASE DON"T DO It–don’t give out false info
