Has anyone seen or gotten any information on the impact of the covid 19 on a patient with MS? I've asked people in general, nurses nurses and doctors and nobody has any information on it.. So if you've gotten one or you know somebody that has, please respond and let me know how they did and any interactions they may have had

Howdy,one of the things I've seen so far is that those on Ocrevus and some other DMT's have a negative association with the vaccine, resulting in low antibody count after vaccination ,making it almost but not completely worthless

I am fully vaccinated with no issues. Read all the usual sites such MS Trust, etc. They all report no special MS issues and recommend being vaccinated.

I've had 2 Pfizer shots. The First one, I didn't feel any symptoms. The second one I felt a little like I was getting the flu. No fever, just a little nauseas and body aches, for about two days. I just got the regular flu shot today, no problems. By the way, I'm 66 and have had MS since 2001.
I take OCREVUS, 2 infusions every 6 months. I have had no problems.

I had trouble after my second dose of Moderna and am still being treated. I still support the vaccine, all my family is vaccinated.

Sorry you had such a hard time with the 2nd vaccine.. Hopefully when you get the booster it won't be so bad
