I’ve recently tested positive with covid, and find that the pain in my neck and shoulders have diminished substantially, I can even make a fist with my left hand, something I’ve been unable to do for some months. Wondered if there’s a link here?
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…
