I have never had a reaction from the flu shot – although my doc told me to not get one until the 3rd year of TM. Hope you get back to “normal” soon and thanks for reporting in about the shot. Janice

So far, it is not good. It is the fifth day and the base pain level, the level of pain experienced all the time without any additional loads, has increased to the extent that even the Lyrica is no longer able to contain it. My body is in a constant state of nerve pain and physical anxiety. I have increased the dosage of both Lyrica and Gabapentin. Hopefully, this is not a new normal; but if it is, then I have made a big mistake in getting a flu shot. Thus, unless you expect to be circulating around many people, and many new people with whom you have not previously spent much time, then, I don't recommend it. But living in New York City and taking the subway and other forms of public transportation, and having to use hand-holds all over the City, I thought it prudent to get the flu shot. It may still be the right move, but at this reckoning has come at a high cost, that of being in a distracting level of pain all the time now, just as I was during the early days of the disease.
