Morning everyone..I have Lupus sle, itp sjogrens, thyroid problems plus other health issues.

I work full time HGV 1 lorry driver my company allows me to keep the same truck daily which I sanatize and wipe everything daily down to the keys I'm so careful. I'm the only person who where's a face covering in the workplace of hundreds. .My endocrinologist put me on medication for the thyroid and advised me it could effect white blood cells and others. Three weeks after starting medication I got covid i was so annoyed after being so careful, I had to have Antiviral medication and today I'm still positive 13 days now has anyone else been positive for this amount of time?

sorry you are going through this Mike after being so careful. I got covid in August and was positive for 14 days, i had an anti viral infusion so im hoping it helped, i felt rough and had a bad cough, i could have been alot worse. Im on rituximab and my white cell count is low as well, i try to be careful but it seems like alot of people who managed to avoid it all through pandemic are getting it now.

Take care , i hope you make a full recovery soon .

Sorry you have caught Covid now, especially after all your preventative measures. This does seem to be a common occurrence now, with many only catching it for the first time now. I know of very cautious people who have recently caught it two or three times. However I am not aware of any commonly-prescribed thyroid medication that can negatively affect the immune system, so am unsure what your endo is suggesting. Fingers crossed you will test negative soon.
