I HAVE HAD FLU JAB LAST WEEK AT LAST.
REACTED TO IT.
GOT BIG BLACK, DEEP PURPLE BRUISE ON MY ARM.
QUITE SWOLLEN AND SORE FELT LIKE HARD LUMP.
WONDER WHY THIS HAPPENED? COULD`NT SLEEP ON THAT SIDE.
SOMETIMES WITH MY MONTHLY BLOOD TESTS I GET VERY BRUISED.
NEVER USED TO HAPPEN BEFORE TAKING METHOTREXATE. :cry: YORKIE

    yorkie, I have always reacted badly to flu jabs and usually get a big red sore patch before i even get to the door of the doctors.
    This year however nothing no bruise not sore patch nothing i was really surprised and i started taking MTX in April.
    I've never been able to work out why i reacted so much to them.
    When i had my last tetenus jab it really hurt and was sore for days after hubby had one at the same time and said his was fine so i did offer to punch him on the arm but he declined... wimp.

    If you do find out why i would be interested too.
