Trying to gain a better understanding about autoimmune issues and the safety of rthe jabs, I came across this.

I am not on any immunosuppressant meds. Unfortunately, I have major problems with steroidal type meds, and sem to be allergic to so many of the drugs docs like to prescribe for the various “popular” ailments of the aging -

Here is the news for those of us who have lupus, Sjogren’s, Hashimoto’s, etc...

Everything I have seen about the safety of the vaccines for people with autoimmune diseases presupposes they are on medications, and what studies there are include only patients who are on medication vs healthy controls.

The second doctor in this video recommends those who are not on medication or whose disease is “uncontrolled” should consult their doctors first before getting the vaccine (toward the end, first part is about allergies):

I am no doctor! It sounds to me like Covid could be dangerous for you if you get it. At the same time, it sounds like you really need to consult your doctors before getting vaccinated, considering your illness and allergies. That is what I would do in your place.

I hope you will let us know how it goes and how you are doing. (((prayers of protection for you)))
