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...

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...
