Im anti-ro/ssa positive. will getting the flu shot cause me to produce more auto antibodies?? scared.

Unlikely: research done so far is inconclusive and was for other auto-antibodies, no the ones you have. You will have to weigh risk vs benefit, I believe you would benefit from the vaccine, best wishes
