Flu jab and impact on symptoms?

Hi, Has anyone had an increase in some MS symptoms since this year's flu jab? I had my jab last Wednesday and since then my fatigue and spacticity are worse. I'm just wondering if the two things are related? I've never had an issue with the flu jab before. Has anyone else had a similar experience this year?

Hi, Louisa, I suspect we all react in different ways, just like we do to everything else! In my own case, I was absolutely fine for the first few days; but then my arm became so painful that I couldn't lean on it at all for over a week. For myself, I'd rather take the risk - but I'm sure there will be just as many who swear by it.

Hi, i had mine at the beginning of october. I think i did not worsen because of it. Ms continues taking my live bit by bit but i don't think it is the vaccine. I rather be vaccinated, i take the risc, any simple cold leaves me absolutely unable to "walk", i cannot think of picking up the flue, that would be catrastophic. Take care
