having small issues with cortisol deficiency, I looked into research if vaccines are safe with this condition. I found these two very recent publications. I am happy that research has started on this.
5 cases who had actual or incipient adrenal crises requiring parenteral hydrocortisone :
ChAdOx1 SARS-CoV-2 vaccination: A putative precipitant of adrenal crises
06 August 2021
https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/cen.14566
1 case:
Stress induced by messenger ribonucleic acid (RNA) vaccination may reveal acute adrenal insufficiency (2021)
https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s12020-021-02878-9
I just post these because I think that PR has quite some people with adrenal deficiency. and I saw that people mention adrenals in the context of vaccination:
the goal of my post is to make other people benefit from what I have found so everyone can make their own informed decisions, for example to get a booster or not etc. for myself, my conclusion from the above research was exactly to get vaccinated:
1. if after so many months of vaccines available, only these handful of adrenal crisises are reported / can be found easily, then the risk is probably low. (I would be more worried if there is no research!)
2. if a vaccine can provoke adrenal crisis, then covid may do that doubly so. hence it is wise to get vaccinated. so my logic. I didn't invest time to search if this is true or not.
after having read the above, I did my first vaccine a few days ago and plain simply nothing happened.
(so far I postponed vaccination and I was very careful to not get infected. I first wanted to see if vaccines do have side effects that come after all those short clinical trials. another reason for prioritizing my vaccination low was that I do a training that enables my body to stop cytokine storms (according to research). cytokine storms kill people in severe covid reactions - reference)
