Currently Rheumatologists and those physicians dealing with Autoimmune disease have been instructed by the CDC not give their patients the Covid vaccine. Three years ago I took the Johnson & Johnson Covid vaccine. It created a "monster" relapse of my Polymyalgia Rheumatica that put me in bed for 6 weeks writhing in pain. I have been unable to walk more than 25' or stand more than 5 minutes since then, and I have been in a wheelchair ever since. Three long life changing years. The absolute travesty to this is the fact, and it's documented, that the CDC took the J & J off of the market back then for 30 days because of the results and reactions. unfortunately for me and many others they put it back on the market after 30 days because not enough of us were sick from the injection.

Such an awful experience for you. Both my gp and rhumetologist said I should get a vax when I was still dealing with pmr. Luckily I didn’t believe them. So frustrating!!!

Hello. Can you provide a link or source confirming the CDC's instructions? I cannot seem to find a statement regarding their position on the CDC website nor the RA website. Both seem to be promoting additional shots. For the record, I will not be getting any additional mRNA shots due my reaction from one Moderna shot in 2021 and the fact that I am living with a compromised immune system. TY.

The condition you are living with sounds incredibly difficult. May you continue to improve.
