Hi everyone, I was watching the BBC news last night and a report came out about the blood clot issue circulating about the AstraZeneca vaccination. It mentioned that the unusual symptom is the low blood platelets level in the clots. This is from an FT article: The main condition causing alarm is called cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST), when blood forms clots in the veins that run from the brain, a potentially fatal complication. In the cases of concern, this has been combined with something called thrombocytopenia where a patient also presents abnormally low levels of platelets, resulting in heavy bleeding. Also this: consistent with our experience that mild thrombocytopenia is not uncommon in MS patients. Should we be concerned? Also I’ve read the Pfizer moderna vaccine has had clots in its tests but low blood platelet levels were not a factor. Soooo, looked further into it (at 5 o’clock this morning !) From what I’ve read the vaccine goes in, and platelet levels go bananas and form a clot in the brain. All very depressing and I’m not an antivaxxer neurotic at all in fact I’m craving a near normal life to get out and about safely and also don’t want to be a scaremonger either so basically I’m looking for some peace of mind on information that others may have garnered from all the news circulating around the world about the risks involved to us MSers. Also would love to hear from anyone who’s had the jab and their experience of any after effects. I’m sure I’m barking up the wrong tree with worry but just wanted some other thoughts. I’m diagnosed 2015 on Ocrelizumab Dmt.
