Living with MS post-COVID: To mask or not to mask?

The mask is staying for the time being. Too much of a danger with my medication and the fact that the medication attacks the vaccinations antibodies. For my health the mask is staying!

Hi @MyMS55 and @dan.varady, thank you for opening this discussion and sharing with us! 😀

What do others think?

How are you feeling about the end of mask mandates? Are you comfortable being out and about without a mask? Are you still wearing one? Why or why not? How is your MS doing as we've passed the two-year "anniversary" of COVID?

I fully agree. I always have a mask when out. There are so many new variants. While less dangerous for the average. The doctors and I agree it may be a death sentence for me. Plus protecting others just makes sense

I wear a mask where it is mandatory. I never caught covid bc of not wearing the mask but I did just catch covid omicron from my best friend that i care deeply about while taking care of her. For me it was scary to know i had it but within a few days it was done. No worse than allergies for me. I chalk that up to the m.s. though. With m.s. I had found out the reason I never got sick was bc my immune system was so ramped up. It's just a portion of it was attacking my nerves (m.s.). I have been covid neg for 3 weeks now and feel better than i have in a long time.

I do mask when I go out

I keep the mask on to protect myself and my family. I know the mandate has been removed but I continue utilizing the mask.

I will continue to mask, this weekend was the first weekend I did not mask at large events, and the morning after, I immediately took a at home nasal swab test. Thank goodness both came back negative.

I continue masking. It maybe a smaller chance but the chance is to much still with the possibility of extreme illness

I continue to wear a mask whenever I'm n a place full of people, like when I go grocery shopping. I do'nt wear it outside though
