Anyone else with psoriatic arthritis had a case of covid? If so we’re you ok and how long to recover? Also do you stop taking leflunomide when you’ve got Covid? Thanks in advance.

Hi cba84 , thanks for your important question during this time.

The Arthritis Action charity website now has a dedicated COVID-19 area, which includes advice, ideas and tips on how to stay well and continue managing your arthritis during the ongoing pandemic. It may be useful to take a look through:

We also recently held an online Q&A with Consultant Rheumatologist Dr Wendy Holden, who answered some of the most frequently asked questions about COVID-19 in relation to arthritis. This includes several discussions about taking medication if you test positive.
