Does anyone here have another autoimmune condition as well as type one diabetes? I have sarcoidosis which is a multi system inflammatory condition that has affected my lungs and my joints as well as giving me erythra nodusum.
So I’m very worried about having the CEV vaccine which will promote an inflammatory response. Any comments or reflections gratefully received, thank you
 
I have Autoimmune Progesterone Disease which basically means I have an autoimmune response to my periods every month. I had the Pfizer vaccine on Wednesday & only experienced a mild immune response, the usual rash flared up, I was a bit tired & had an early night. My arm was really sore, worse than with the flu jab but that didn’t last longer than 24hrs.

Are you in the UK because I wasn’t offered a choice of vaccine.
 
I have rheumatoid arthritis and was told by the Rheumatologist that either vaccine was ok. Had the Oxford AZ, not offered a choice, but as I've had lots of reactions to various meds over the years, this is the one I felt happiest with, so was pleased.
 
I have AI and although T2, took neurologists advice and had the first one offered, oxford AZ.
