decision whether to get booster (2024)
Hi, everyone. I got the original variant and I've had long covid since, with multiple lasting issues.
I have always gotten each booster, but they make me incredibly sick and my doctor is now advising that given the inflammation I'm already experiencing and current issues I'm dealing with that I not to get the booster this time. That feels wrong to me as I am very much a science person and not at all anti vaccine, but I'm also wondering about whether the boosters actually are detrimental to those of us already dealing with long covid. Not trying to start a political argument or discussion simply wondering if others would be willing to comment on their decisions whether to take the vaccines despite really bad reactions. I am extremely stressed and reluctant to get this next shot knowing how sick it makes me. If anyone would be willing to share your experience and decision making process I would very much appreciate it. No judgment here. Just trying to decide whether to listen to my body and to my doctor this time or whether to forge ahead and get each new booster as it is available, despite knowing I will have to take at least two-three days off of work due to fever and pain headache Etc. Thanks, everybody.

I blame my issues that started after Covid vaccines, I had Moderna, on that directly. My new doctor who is an MD doesn’t recommend the Covid shots.
Yes, Prednisone is a wonderful drug although not good for bones. I would love to be on a low dose of it if I can.
I would leave the next shot on the table.If it makes you feel terrible.You don't need more insult to injury.Dr Paul Anderson can help you on Youtube.
