Free text: I suffer from Fibromyalgia so it's often hard to tell what is causing my pain, but just in case it is related to the vaccine I would like to report that about 7 days post vaccine I began to experience body aches and fatigue that has gotten progressively worse. I'm achy all over and I'm having trouble moving due to the pain. Joint pain in knees, ankles, hips and hands and body feels like it's throbbing. I've also had run going in one ear that began the day after I received the vaccine. Again, not sure if any of this is related but wanted to report for trend analysis.
