Hi there, no, you are not at increased risk of catching it...or having serious complications should you catch it. Raynauds, and the medications you are taking with have no bearing on coronavirus.
All my best

No not at all, if you had scleroderma then yes.
Hi Jumbojet. My GP explained to me that if you take immune suppressant drugs then YES you are at risk because your immune system is decreased (suppressed). I take hydroxychloroquine. You are not at risk because of the disease and its symptoms you are at risk because of the drugs you take. Check your medication and see if any item is an immune suppressant. Best wishes.
