Dear Sir,
Thank you for posting your query on HCM.
well it may be due to influenza and pneumococcal vaccines that you are taking . bodyaches , malaise , joint pains , fatigue etc are common manifestations .
You can take a paracetamol for this problem by asking your treating doctor . It generally subsides on its own without any treatment but still if it continues it needs evaluation as you were taking steroids .
If you have any further queries feel free to ask .
Hope it answers your query.
Take care .
