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.

Please don’t stop taking any of your medication unless your doctors tell you to.

Hi, Someone mentioned to me that some Rheumy Depts are informing patients to come off of meds if suffering from COVID and back on when better. Someone from Surrey mentioned to me. Don't know if it is good advice???

You can only listen to your own physician if the need arises.

Think about It 70+/- Obese & smokes -v- 70+/- healthy non smoker

Would think completely different advice....Only possible from clinician in charge

Let’s hope none of us ever end up in that situation!

Minor point...how do those of us on infusions cope...Blood letting?

Leave it to the specialists ...& don’t fret over something you have no control over!
