Covid & Immune Suppresants

[Chockyuk]

Morning 👋

I tested positive and for those on here who have had it, do I still carry on taking my Mthx and Sulpha? I feel ok, just a bit sniffy.

I didn’t take my Methotrexate when I had mild dose of Covid in July - I didn’t seek advice from anyone, just felt it would be better not to take it. Didn’t have any additional pain or flare ups.

Sorry to hear you have covid Chockyuk, get well soon 💐

sorry you have covid hope it remains a mild dose and you feel ok. I went to immunology on Monday and they said mtx needs to be paused if you’re positive for covid to give your immune system time to fight the virus.

thank you Leics, I’m due to take mine tomorrow, so I’ll pause it for a week. I did ring my Rheumatology line, but they haven’t got back to me. Xx
