@avmcbellar- Thank you. I haven't even been around my sister for a year so I am not exposed hardly at all. But that doesn't mean that I am at low risk. Since I have cancer and other things, as I mentioned, my immune system is still compromised. So I consider myself high risk. I guess that it's all a matter of some words and how you are defining them. I have waited a month for Moderna and I get migraines. So I have chosen to chance those. I had some neuropathy after chemo so I know that it can be horrible. I have friends who have it. I don't envy them, nor do they envy my migraines.
Best of luck
Merry

@merpreb exactly, we each have to decide what is best for us. There are two risk factors we need to consider. I was referring for me being at a low risk for my exposure to the virus. As far as my medical history I only have neurological disorders which may be a medium-high risk. It is difficult to advise anyone regarding the vaccines because one; we do not know all the facts, and two; we are not in someone’s shoes to know exactly what they are feeling or going through medically. So it is an individual decision.
Sorry you are suffering from migraines. I do as well on a regular basis. My solution now is an herbal tea. It works well for me. In the past I had tried coffee for the caffeine and Tylenol. My doctor prescribed a pain killer but I refused because it wasn’t a pill for a cure. I found a bag of ice over my head offered enough relief so I could sleep. Over time the number of migraines have decreased. Initially I was getting them twice a week. Now it is 1-2 times per month. I am hoping to decrease that number within a year. Thanks, best to you for a safe day. Toni
