having a relapse

Hi, ! Thanks for sharing your concern! MS is indeed complex, and both prednisone and the COVID vaccine come with important considerations.

It’s crucial to consider your immune system, as both treatments can have significant effects on it. Depending on your current health, your doctor might recommend getting vaccinated first to strengthen your immunity, or they may prioritize prednisone if you're experiencing an MS flare-up.

Ultimately, the best approach is to discuss your options with your neurologist or healthcare provider. They can help you weigh the urgency of your MS treatment against the timing of the vaccine, taking your specific health and medical history into account.

Have you spoken to your doctor about this? Did your doctor given any guidance on what they recommend in your case?

All the best,

Hi, !

Latoya already wrote everything I would have suggested, but I wanted to offer extra support as you make this decision. I know it's hard when you are trying to stay as healthy as possible and also avoid a flare. I hope your doctor helps you make the decision that is best for you and that you have a Covid/Flu free winter AND stay flare free as well!

Best, Erin, Team Member.
