Hi there - first time posting, but i check in almost every day to read the fantastic posts. . many thanks for all the information.
here is my question. dx with MS 03 - currently on copaxone .. symptoms are mild at the current time. My question is this: I am traveling to brazil in december and i will be spending some time in the amazon - the center for disease control suggests that i get a yellow fever immunization. my neuro said that it is better to get the vaccine than to get yellow fever . .its not that i don't trust my neuro, just sometimes i feel like she is quoting things from medical journals to me - just want some thoughts on the whole thing. .another cause for trepidation in me is that i got a hep B vaccination and i think that may have been one of the triggers for my ms.
oh well.
