I second what Snoopy said:

Please visit and post on the MS Forum if so inclined. I, and others are still around just not as frequent. In my case I check every so often to see if I can be of help to anyone.
I like to think some of us are still here carrying on what Sally maintained for so long. It seems a shame for all of her efforts to fade away when what she was doing was helpful to so many.

Update: Had my second shot on Wednesday. As with the first, I have "COVID arm" but to be honest, I think the first time was worse, which, according to the second place I went, MAY have been the needle size. Three weeks later and I am STILL sore from the first time. I have read (and confirmed through nurses) that it can be normal swelling from the muscle "injury" OR an immune response. For those of us with MS, we are familiar with the frequent inability to make definitive attributions!

In any event, I'm glad I got it but also glad it's done. Thanks for your support, all.

Thanks for letting people know. It's all new territory for everyone, and I'm sure most people are keeping a weather eye on how others are reacting to the vaccines. I know I am.

I get a sore arm that lasts for weeks quite often with the annual flu shot. Taking aspirin or Tylenol if you can tolerate either of those helps quite a bit.
