Members shared mixed experiences and concerns about getting the COVID-19 vaccine while living with fibromyalgia, with worries centering on potential flare-ups, allergic reactions, and side effects like fever or fatigue. Several members described getting vaccinated without major issues, noting only mild soreness or temporary tiredness, while others emphasized that having COVID itself was far more debilitating than any vaccine side effects, with some experiencing long-term symptoms that forced career changes. A recurring theme was seeking reassurance from doctors, carefully weighing personal risk factors, and ultimately deciding that protection from severe COVID outweighed the fear of a fibromyalgia flare.

Hello I have had my first dose and have no bad effects from it.

I've had both COVID vaccinations without any reaction. Just a little sore arm.
I can now visit my grandchildren without worrying. I still practice all the safety measures.
I just wanted to let you know that the vaccine didn't cause a fibro flare at all. Honestly I think the stress of worrying about getting the vaccine may cause a flare. I know that stress is the worst trigger for me.
Don't worry, just get the vaccine.

Yes, yes, and yes!! Having covid is extremely serious. It was so bad for me until I didn't not want to fight anymore. Still having the aftermath from it really causing me to resign from my job. Along with already having underlying medical conditions!! As soon as I'm able to get vaccinated, I will definitely get it done. I have til April 21st which will be 3 months exactly when I was diagnosed.

Absolutely no problems with the vaccine. I was a part of the trial for the Moderna vaccine and was paid to do it. I was guided through the entire process. GET THE VACCINE!!!!!!! A couple of days with some side affects is nothing compared to having covid 19 for 9 months or death!!! Go now and get the vaccine.
