disclaimer- I’m not anti-vax

I’m 21F, diagnosed with Hashimoto’s in September of 2020. I have TPO antibodies but I don’t show any symptoms of Hashi’s...yet. My mom and her mom both have Hypothyroid so it runs in the fam.

I’m scared to get the Covid vaccine bc I’m scared it might trigger my Hashimotos to flare up. I also have severe health anxiety so I’m always worrying about my health. It’s like I’m scared of getting Covid but I’m also scared of getting the Covid vaccine so I’m trying to weigh which anxiety feels worse.

I would feel so guilty if I got the vaccine and then something happened to me. I know a lot of you have gotten the vaccine and feel fine so any words of encouragement/reassurance are appreciated. I might just wait because we don’t know what the long term effects of the vaccine are.
