Hello all, I wanted to post on several issues, but read that it was about "experiences" on certain vaccines, and all other posts would be deleted. So, I'm going to express my thoughts here. First off I am Type 1/LADA for the last 5 yrs. I realize and know this was set-off by an auto-immune disorder. However, I just consider myself as Type 1. My c-peptides as of 6.22.17 were at 0.6 (have since decreased) my GAD (65) >250.0. I fought hard for theses tests, and paid out of pocket, because I knew the doctor was wrong, and we weren't going to fix my bs levels with oral medication. My immune system destroyed my pancreas. I always joke that it's only job is to hold my body up, else I would be extremely short.
We were never sugar people, nor junk food. Mostly organic, bean loving people, so this whole thing was a shock. I corrected everything following Dr. B's diet. My A1c's are between 4.7-4.9, and I only get tested every 6 months. But no way will I ever be normal. The only thing that doctor could trace my diabetes to was familiar. Wrong, no family members have had it, and I've done the research. On an off whim, the doctor thought it might have been a reaction to a vaccination from the past. Go figure.
Being highly sensitive, with autoimmune disorder, I was told to wait. This went against my endocrinologist, but that was the same person who wouldn't listen to me to begin with. I have not quarantine to the best of my ability, I continued going to gym, meeting with scared relatives, and I have never gotten sick. I am more worried about what the vaccines can cause with people that are autoimmune compromised. It is a total cyto-storm.
I know I am going out on a limb here, and respect everyone's choice, but I worry about about other immune problems. If you question anything, even your doctor do research. Question everything! If I had followed my endo, I could of lost my eyesight, among other things.
If you are concerned about vaccines and autoimmunity I would personally recommend getting a viral vector vaccine e.g. AstraZeneca rather than an mRNA vaccine e.g. Pfizer because mRNA vaccines are new technology and it is yet not understood if they cause autoimmunity, the developer of the vaccine, BioNTech, was actually looking at mRNA vaccines to cure autoimmune diseases!! Really interesting field of science!!
I’m 19, been diagnosed for just over a year, had jabs for 4 different diseases in the last 6 months. No change in insulin requirement so it clearly shows it doesn’t exacerbate or worsen the preexisting autoimmune attack on my pancreas, very unlikely to cause any other autoimmune conditions.
