Hi John, when I had to go up to 20mg of prednisone, I was told by my Rheumy to stay indoors as prednisone lowers the immune system. Now I’m on 10 for a month & not sure what to do! Anyone have any idea?

Hi @dreamer38, I agree with @astaingegerdm that it's best to avoid crowds and use social distancing, hand washing, etc. but I don't think you have to stay indoors.
