Hollieby,

Have. Look at this -

rheumatology.org.uk/Portals...

or this

healthunlocked.com/pmrgcauk...

There is plenty of information under the ‘Covid’ daily chats. They are all pinned posts.

If you have any more questions re the virus can you please look for the current daily post re Covid and put it on there. It will get answered so don’t worry - but HU admin are trying to keep Covid posts separate from those purely on PMR or GCA - one of the moderators will probably move this to today’s post

PMR itself is classed as "increased risk". Then it depends on pred dose, other medications and what other health problems he has. If you say what they are - raised BP, diabetes and ischaemic heart disease are the major ones, we can help you more.

I won't switch off replies to the thread yet to let you reply.
