I asked my hemotologist at Mayo and was told that those of us with autoimmune disease are NOT immunecompromised. Our immune system work well, too well!

@rarelybees2889 I will respectfully disagree. Immunocompromised indicates an impaired immune system. Which to me, means not working normally. I guess we can agree to disagree!

I hate to disagree with a Mayo Clinic Doctor but for 18 years and different specialty Dr's I have been told I am immunocompromised due to RA and the medications I take.
