Hello all, I've had MS for many many years now (sometimes I almost lose count!) and I believe I remember at the beginning the neurologist told me that I couldn't be vaccinated anymore. No flu jab, nothing if I were to travel somewhere where that's necessary, etc. Does anyone know anything about this? Has this changed in recent years? At a time where we may eventually have a vaccine for COVID-19, I've been wondering about it.
If I remember rightly I think the neurologist said that my immune system was attacking itself so it wouldn't be wise to introduce a virus to it, even if it's for inoculation purposes.
What do you all think? Thanks in advance!
