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/

Timing of your annual flu and COVID-19 vaccines

Prof G has written an article about this recurring question. The TL;DR version is do it asap as there is no value in waiting. The B cells are fully suppressed. Personally speaking: when I came off ocrelizumab (Ocrevus) it took 72 weeks to get a hint of a B cell after 5 full infusions. Full art...

Covid 19 Vaccine and MS

I went from being very healthy hardly ever being sick nothing more than a cold to now having MS. There is no doubt in my mind that I’ve been vaccine injured.

Covid-19 Handling

**Thanks for the replies. Looks like everyone does what they are comfortable with. I am not ready to "go back to normal", so I will continue doing what I have been. Take care, all! :) How are you all handling covid-19? Especially those on B cell depleting treatments. I've been shielding at home (...

Covid 19 vaccine

I was diagnosed with MS last February I’ve been on the twice a year treatment, rituximab, since last October. I’ve had a total of two infusion treatments.

Covid 19 and MS

I have just tested positive with Covid. I'm just wondering what people's experience with Covid and MS was. Did your symptoms of MS get worse? Did you contact your MS nurse to let them know you had it?
