5th Covid jab

Listy44

Hi has anyone else had a flare up of arthritis after having their Covid jabs? I had my 5th jab at the beginning of June. I am still in constant pain since the jab.. I was told that the steroids I take suppress my immune system however I did get covid in December and my rheumatologist told me that it awakens the immune system I had felt ok prior to having the jab. Just interested to know if anyone else has found this thanks for reading this.

Hi @Listy44

There have been a few discussions on the forum about the link between Covid jabs and flare ups - I’ve linked to one thread below that you might find interesting to read:
