Sympathies for what you went through after the RSV vaccine. However strongly suggest discussing this with your PCP.
I always get a quadrivalent flu shot, and I’ve had 7 Modernas as of this week. All with no ill side effects. However after researching RSV I will discuss it with my PCP before getting it.
Wishing you the very best!

I also recommend consulting your PCP but unfortunately the days when I can put all my trust in what a PCP tells me are over. I do consult him but I must do my own research as well. Given that Covid vaccine protection wanes significantly at four months and that most PCPs cannot begin to keep up with various autoimmune disorders (I know far more about GBS/CIDP and its risks and treatments) I concluded that the risks outweigh the benefits. Again, it’s a personal decision only.
