All you need to know but are afraid to ask..COVID19

If you’d like some proper science the Dr Baker (neuroscientist) has broken it down here. TLDR; it is well worth getting the jab. https://multiple-sclerosis-research.org/2024/10/all-you-need-to-know-but-are-afraid-to-ask-covid19/

COVID Treatments

Interesting post from the MS Society today about the new antiviral/antibody treatment proposals for people in the UK with MS who contract COVID19. Apparently we'll get a PCR testing kit to keep at home and then be offered treatment if we're COVID positive. I had COVID in April 2020 and was lucky...

Any experiencies with COVID19 vaccine if you're on Gylenia?Where I come from, doctors are quite inexperienced when it comes to immune-modulatory medicines and their combination with other drugs or vaccines. Nobody gave me advice so far
