Hi. I have SPMS and following 2 Pfizer jabs the strength, weakness and fatigue in my legs has been noticeably worse. Has anyone else had a similar experience. ---

It seems to be quite common with both AstraZeneca and Pfizer. This is one fairly recent thread on it. There have been a few others. > [@Covid Jab and a flare up](https://forum.mssociety.org.uk/t/covid-jab-and-a-flare-up/63738/10): > > Oh wow I hope you are doing better now. Have you had any feed back after reporting your symptoms? Hope you gradually regain the strength and the fatigue lessens over time. ---

I had absolutely the same experience… my Ms got word than it has been for years. But everything I keep reading is « it’s fine! All fine! » for people with MS to get them (PS had Pfizer)
