@sallik74 Dr. Google referred me to a medical journal that said there was a direct link from the covid shot to my auto immune thingy. Wish I could remember the name of the mag. I'm sure it can be dug up.

@rimord yes, please “dig it up.” I work in the medical field and am concerned to read that people feel not getting the Covid shot is a good idea when diagnosed with MGUS, SMM and MM. I have MM and will have a stem cell harvest in January 2026 in preparation for a bone marrow transplant. There is evidence that the Covid vaccine in very beneficial for those with compromised immune systems, like those of us with myeloma. If your hematologist recommends getting the Covid vaccine, along with other vaccines, I would highly recommend heeding their advice. I received 5 vaccines at the beginning of my myeloma journey and I firmly believe each will be hugely beneficial in the treatment.
