Outdoors? Last night I got a sore throat. Sick today. I’ve only been to the grocery store and wipe my hands afterwards. I haven’t started wearing masks again, but I’ve been sick 3 times since February. Usually I’m sick once every 3 years. If this keeps up, I’m wearing masks again.

Fall/Winter of 2024 I noticed that I was getting one cold after another. When I mentioned to my doctor they tested my antibodies and my IgG was very low. So I get infusions monthly. Other than that I'm mindful of whom I'm arround and try to avoid large crowds.
Started getting revaccinated on 01/25, the basic CDC vaccines, I only have the MMR left, which I will get in 06/26 (two years post-SCT/BMT). Curiously enough, the Covid vaccine was not on the list. Doc said that would be my choice. I wish it would have been my choice when I got it in 08/21. I had no choice, as I worked in a NYS building and it was mandated anyone working in a NYS facility would be required to get the Covid vax. I wish I could prove that the Covid vaccination brought upon the multiple myeloma. If the flu shot is optional, so should the Covid shot been optional. Those with severe underlying conditions were best served getting the Covid vax. Prior to myeloma, I never got a flu shot, ever!
