Hello, folks. I'm another GCA patient. Regarding the Covid vaccine, I've been under the impression that I shouldn't have it
because my WBC and neutrophils keep crashing, and therefore my immune system is very compromised. I haven't checked with my medical team yet though. Are any of you in this same situation, and if so, have your doctors still okayed your hope to get the vaccine? I did have the regular flu shot in the Fall.
I'm not on Prednisone anymore, after 1 1/2 years, but am now on Actemra injections. They were weekly but because my WBC and neutrophils keep falling, I'm now bi-weekly IF the lab work is ok. Lab work is done weekly, or twice a week if results are falling. It's a real dance!
