aches/pains after vaccination. is it Fibro?

Hi
I have had CFS for 18 years and did not have any pain except occasionally and usually when I had a relapse of fatigue. But it was always temporary. I had to have a rabies vaccination as there are bats where I work on an oilfield at night. The first two didn't do anything but the third caused aches and pains all over. This has gone down in severity but I am still getting aches/pains in my fingers and feet esp after I use them like walking/typing etc. It seems to be able to flare up more and then sometimes it doesn't feel too bad. I don't get it. It is 2 weeks now after this last jab. Is this consistent with Fibromyalgia or do you think it is side effects of the vaccine still? I wouldn't say the pain is excruciating but it is there mildly aching away and is getting me down.

bummer; it's a pity you had the shots cause generally you don't need the shots unless you actually get bit... anyway... i know you're on oilrig and isolated?, but bats shouldn't bite unless you touch them?... anywayyyyy,
mate i don't think it's fibro;
but it would he definitely related to the vaccination and likely the cfs too. sounds flared up and inflamed.
it would have to do with the way we cfs people have sensitivities to virus things. including vaccines.
best hope is it gradually gets better - could take weeks? best wishes, avoid any other vaccines
