I’m sorry to hear you’re having RA issues after having Covid. You’re certainly not alone so I hope you’ll be able to connect with other members going through the same situation. This virus is very troubling and sure causing a lot of long term issues.

In your bio you mentioned having a lot of questions. Do you have any particular concerns?

Thanks so much for your reply and for clarification. For the past two months, I've been sleeping A LOT, like 12+ hours a day. Pain and swelling have largely immobilized me, and today is my second day on Prednisone. I'm normally a very "busy" and active person, and I am hoping the last 2 months feeling like I'm 80 can be treated with medicine, diet, and exercise. I'm 57 and hope this is not the beginning of the end.
