Although I see a lot people with MS get them I believe you shouldn't because we are more prone to infections.

With all my MRIs I would never even consider it!

Try your best to stay healthy...ms is also worsened by environment. ..this includes metals.....which is a foreign object in our body...so our immune system fights to resist. ..hope ur well. Give your body every shot youve got

I agree with previous post, the concern would probably be infections.
