Covid vaccine and potential cause of diagnosis?

Please no rude comments this is simply just a thought… I know that MS is considered to be genetic , But thinking back to my family no one in my family has had it (or know they had it) and it got me thinking.. I was extremely healthy up until about 2020 when I got the Covid vaccine (pfizer) due to wo...

COVID vaccine and treatment

Is it a terrible idea to get my COVID and flu vaccine on the same day I get my tysabri infusion? I've never had a problem with the vaccines before- I don't tend to react to them, and I've not had a reaction to the tysabri, but I've only had 1 infusion so far. It's just that that's the only time I ca...

Covid vaccine on DMTs

Just as a curiosity, did you have any sort of “special requirements” for the vaccine? I mean this in terms of having to be X days after an injection (Kesimpta here) Just thiught this was curious since I personally never seen this being mentioned in any MS community? Maybe just some overcaution by t...

MS and Covid Vaccine link

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9S2jooTxkQ As someone diagnoised with MS post Covid, and who had my first symptoms after taking the vaccine, this was very upsetting to see. Hope the link works. Briefly, the WHO have confirmed a likely link between the vaccine and the onset of MS or MS relapses. Ha...

Covid vaccine - Anaphylaxis

Did anyone else have an Anaphylaxis reaction to the Covid vaccine? Which made your MS worse. Prior to the vaccine my MS was stable I’d say it was a 1.5 on the Expanded Disability Status Scale while after my reaction it went straight to a 6.5 within 24hrs. During this decline I ended up in hospital d...

4th covid vaccine

Hi everyone, yesterday I had a 4th covid vaccine and now I feel rubbish. Arm ache, headache and fatigue. I feel like I did after my first vaccine. Plus, it is raining really hard ☹️. Just needed to vent. Thanks everyone 😉.

Avonex and Covid vaccine - same day?

Hi, my daughter has an appt for her Covid vaccine on Friday which is the same day she usually takes her Avonex jab. I've left a message for her doctor at the hospital but I am thinking it can't be good to take both on the same day. Any thoughts?
