Hi @Denlev,
Thank you for sharing your experience, and I’m really sorry to hear that you’ve been going through such a tough flare since your RSV injection. That sounds incredibly frustrating and exhausting, especially with usual treatments not helping as much this time. Let me tag a few other members who might have been through something similar.
👉 To those living with rheumatoid arthritis or fibromyalgia:
- Have you noticed a flare or worsening of symptoms after an RSV or other recent vaccine?
- How did you manage it, did anything help calm the inflammation or discomfort?
- Have your doctors ever made a link between vaccines and flare-ups in your case?

@Somya.P with regards to injections/vaccines l declined them unless absolutely necessary. As in past they have made my condition worse. The only injection l do have is methotrexate weekly.

Had RSV injection about 9 weeks ago. On same day a flare up of RA/FM started and is now one of the worse flare ups ever had, prednisolone helped briefly but still happening. Anyone else experienced this after RSV injection and if so how did you treat it? Thanks
