A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

Vaccine & Epilepsy
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

Has anyone gotten the vaccine? Do you feel it has made seizures worse? Have any of y'all heard of shedding? I know it's a touchy subject for a lot of people. Personally I am NOT vaxxed, nor will I be getting it. I am surrounded by people that are.

Ive had all 3 now. The second pfizer left me really sick w/ flu like symptoms for two days. I did have a GM after that. The third was only about half as bad for flu like symptoms. No seizure.

Covid Shots
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hey Guys,
I haven't been on for a while and I'm sure it's already been asked but....
How many of you have had the Covid-19 shots (and which one and why).
Also, my doctor wants me to get Pfizer along with my partner,
but by the time he gets it his work would have started and he won't because he hasn't had the shot.
Again, we can have the Astra in a few days and everything would be alright.
I'm very confused,

I had the first of the two Astra Zenica injections and it’s had no bad effects on my epilepsy at all. Due the second one in roughly 8 weeks now.

How Are We Suppose To Deal With This?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

I really feel bad because i mentioned that i was not going to take the vaccine under any circumstances. Now i plan to visit family in NYC soon. Following the travel advisory news they are trying to secure themselves in having anyone and all passengers traveling domestically will need to have proof that you have taken the vaccine. How do you feel about this forceful decision now that J and J have put a stop on the vaccine because of blood clot issues?
