Just don’t get a live vaccine.

We all experience this differently of course so I'll start with that.

I rarely ever catch a cold or have the flu and that's been for my entire life (that kid that shows up to school when everybody else is sick). If I ever did catch something it was a 3 day gig (start feeling it the first day, mild the next day, finishing up the 3rd day).

Right or wrong, after getting diagnosed with MS in my 20's did make me think that _maybe_ I should get vaccinated... at least to give my immune system something to do aside from attacking me. Probably sounds silly but I started getting those vaccines after I was diagnosed so long ago. My flawed logic was I don't know how this condition is going to progress over time and "just in case" I actually become vulnerable at some point and I needed to know how I would react to these vaccines. I did discuss this with my neurologist. The only time I ever had an issue was with my booster for covid. The first one was not noticeable. The booster made me tired and I just fell asleep early and that's it.

I'm in my mid 50's now. Staying the course with these vaccines and as advised. My body knows how to deal with them.

Note: My body metabolizes things. Going to the dentist is just "push though the pain" as the numbing shots wear off during the procedure and I just tell the dentist to "keep going and don't stop or give me any more numbing shots". I do wonder if my body is just "burning off" these vaccines and not really doing me any good.

@A MyMSTeam Member exactly and take vaccines weeks apart from each other and your treatment.

@A MyMSTeam Member I take Ocrevus and my doctor said to wait for a month between any immunizations.
