Thanks for asking! 🙂 I always like the challenge of putting things in a new way. (Longer answer [here](https://forum.livingwithfibro.org/t/jaycs-s-fibro-blog/13307/644).)

Yes, getting my 1st Pfizer jab on Nov 30th has greatly increased most symptoms. But it’s worse than fibro alone has ever been (now no: table tennis, moving much, working) and some symptoms are new (nauseous, fluey-congested nose) or changed (feverishness, skin, esophagus blocks). Supps & exercises are only keeping it from being even worse.

**Good things** : local pains remain 0; sleep is deeper; OK if I don’t move: still enjoy life; my laptop helps keep me active, distracted & get new ideas.  
**Neutral:** Giving up acupressure; some OK-ish hours; happy, but wearing down.  
**Worst:** No improvement; teeth are pressing; no table tennis.  
**My hopes:** Breath exercises help a bit; thinking it’s _ **histamine** _ gives clues (changing supps, DAO, diet, antihistamines).
