☺️ I have a new appreciation for when infants are so cranky and cry after their vaccinations. Yes, after a BMT, any immunity we have has been removed with the chemo that cleans out our marrow. So yup, we get to start over with childhood, adolescent and adult vaccinations. At 67 I can honestly say I’m an adult now! Haha the last of the vaccines were 4 weeks ago!

Thank you for your sweet reply. I’m back to 100% after 2.4 years. I am a walking miracle and appreciate every moment of getting this second chance at life. I’ve learned a great deal from this experience. That it’s important we never compare what we’ve gone through with what someone else is experiencing.

You’re going through your own personal battle with having Sjogren’s Syndrome. I can’t imagine the level of pain and discomfort you’re going through on a daily basis. So you have my admiration for staying so positive and upbeat while you’re finding answers and hopefully some relief. Honestly, I’ve said this before, but we really just don’t know how strong we can be until it’s the only option, right? We just can’t ever give up.

You mentioned having acupuncture treatments for the pain in your neck and head. Did this help you? Has this helped with the neuropathy in your felt? Acupuncture has helped me immeasurably over the years for chronic neck pain. I couldn’t have it for the past 2.5 years but finally have clearance to start again. I can’t wait!
