I will get back to my other Thread and tell you what happened but at the mo, I'm in too much pain for a long post.

I had the flu &swine flu vaccine on mon and at the moment I feel awful. Like I have all the aches from the flu plus my usual ones times time ten plus a headach and chills. Cant move much and it hurts to type. I expected the jabs to have an effect on me but not to this extent.

Anyone had any experience with this??

I experienced a lot of pain following my annual flu shot a couple of years ago. It was centered in my shoulders and arms and took about 10 days to subside. Now, prior to any anticipated injections, I apply Arnica gel (homeopathic remedy) which seems to prevent the same reaction.

It sounds like you have had a reaction or were just coming down with something when you were jabbed. I would be sure to tell your doctor the next time you see your gp. Feel better soon!

I asked my doctor about the swine flu shot in FM patients. He said that there was no data to support a side for or against getting it.

I would recommend talking to your doctor about how you feel but also reporting your side effects to your local health agency.
