Flu Shot?

[banano]

This may sound silly, but has anyone been triggered by a flu shot? Or does anyone know the flu shot to be a blocker of any sort? I'm due to get one tomorrow and want to be prepared!

I have gotten the Flu shot in the past and have not noticed any change in headache frequency.

I don't believe the shot itself can trigger.  If you want to be extra cautious ask for one without Thimerosal  (an antibacterial preservative).  Flu shots typically are administrated this time of year and for many cluster heads the equinox proved challenging.  Then again maybe its my imagination.

 

Do whatever you can to stay safe and flu free.  The next wave is a coming and staying away from health care facilities is always a good idea.

I get it every year, without fail, because it makes sense and for a long time worked in a medical related field and I have never seen any correlation or causation to anything to do with my clusters.

I will have my first flue shot in November (I am on the list now) as I want to diminish the risk having flue and COVID at the same time. I never got a flue shot before.

So I will see how it interacts with my headache but I am not so worried about that as I have headache every day anyway if I don't take that horrible drug with the lovely name 'Indomethacin'.

Update: I got a normal flu shot and it didn't interfere with my CH!

i thought the other way around, i got my first season cluster a year after a 3-fold vaccination. but it wasn't a flu shot
