Felt rough last night - and had a new cough. Did a LFT (which was positive) so phoned 111 (as I'm now on 25mg methotrexate). I've now got a message from my GP with an in-person appointment booked for this evening. Was thinking it would be a phone appointment - so surprised (and a bit worried) that they want to see me in…
Hi all So, I started Imraldi 6 weeks ago and now have covid. After successfully avoiding it for 2 years, my dear husband has given it to me! He has escaped with just a slight cold while I was knocked for six, felt pretty awful with shivers, stabbing pains, aches, headache, upset tummy. However, I contacted my rheumy team,…
Hi I’ve just been given my 2nd dose of rituximab infusion for RA which I’ve had for 17 years and wasn’t told beforehand that it’s a death sentence if you catch covid. How is everyone else dealing with this as both myself and my husband feel like our lives are now over as the consultant said I can’t go on holiday, can’t go…

I am in slow recovery from Covid, having been on the Old shielding list and avoided it. We haven't changed our behaviour but somehow we got it. Having R A has made it all more difficult. I had different answers to should I stop Methotrexate. I was supposed to be told yes luckily I had decided to stop metho. I eventually…
Hi, I tested positive for covid ten days ago and was advised to stop taking meds (enbrel jab every other week and 10mg methotraxate weekly) until I tested negative and also felt better. I tested negative a day or so ago but after initially not feeling too bad with the Covid (ie nothing worse than a nasty cold) I now don't…
Hello, I am day 6 positive for Covid and have stopped my Toc (11 days since last dose) but can feel I'm starting to get to achy and flare-like. Does anyone know when it can be resumed? Is it once I test negative? I'm confused as Toc was being used to treat Covid. I'm waiting for Rheumo team to contact me but that takes…
Hi, 15 months ago I had my 1 and only dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine and it reacted with the immunosuppression medication I was on at at the time for my psoriatic arthritis. Since then my whole life has turned up side down. I am in constant pain and I have swelling in my feet/ankles/knees/hands/shoulders. I've found out…
Just tested positive for covid and feeling decidedly sorry for myself. I've got the week of work next week for my birthday and was supposed to be going to gardeners world with my mum tomorrow but had to cancel 😞 Feeling pretty rubbish at the moment, waiting for a call back from nhs 111 to see if I can get antivirals a I…
