Hi, I'm wondering if anyone with erythromelalgia has had the Covid vaccine and if its ok to get with this condition. Considering the J&J version since only have to get it once. This is for my mom who is 80.

@kwb - Good morning and welcome to Connect. It must be very difficult to see your mom in pain. So far, with few exceptions, everyone has been encouraged to have the vaccines offered as protection for COVID-19. The possible side effects far outweigh the side effects of the vaccine. But of course, you, your mom, and your mom's doctor will have to decide this. Erythromelalgia is a rare neurological disease and your mom and others with this are more susceptible to other illnesses and diseases.
