As many have read, I am strongly advocating that people with MS get the H1N1 and seasonal flu vaccines, as many of us have decreased lung function that makes us susceptible to pneumonia, which is the biggest risk associated with infection from the H1N1 virus.
In response to my last blog post about the H1N1 vaccine for people with MS, I got the following comment: "I am hoping that the person you are responding to does not take one of the current 5 choices of medicines to help control their MS. As I am sure you are aware they work by keeping the immune system busy and therefore not attacking your own body. If they are on one of these treatments, then yes they do have a weakened immune system."
Well, kind of, but not exactly. I will try to clarify the role of some of the drugs that people with MS might be on and what is means in terms of the H1N1 and seasonal flu vaccines.

I had the H1N1 vaccine two weeks ago. I have not had any problems MS related or otherwise.
I had the seasonal flu vaccine last week – two days later I developed an exacerbation of MS and I still feel dreadful. In my view the vaccine is the culprit – I usually feel unwell after the vaccine but this is the first time I’ve had a relapse.
