Hello I finished a course of pred at the weekend after a flare up, my son had tested positive for covid on Monday, I have had it before vaccines so know how awful it is but worried that the pred will have shot my immune system so that this experience will be worse?? Anyone experienced this? Thanks

Hi,I had pneumonia diagnosed on Dec. 1 and was given antibiotic and prednisone. Two and half weeks later, I came down with omicron. I am triple vaxed and for me, it was the mildest illness I ever had. If you are vaxed, it should be very mild. Hope this is the case for you too.
