Hi @ncgal, From what I've read, any autoimmune condition makes you more susceptible to COVID. I did find an article from last summer on the topic.

"Patients with immune deficiencies or autoimmune disorders are at a higher risk for infection with COVID-19, as they are frequently treated with anti-cytokine, glucocorticoids, and/or immunosuppressive drugs. The infection rate with COVID-19 among people with immune diseases is twice that of the general population[176]. The data derived from international registries of patients with rheumatic diseases (C19-GRA3) who encountered COVID-19 showed poor outcomes depending on their medications[177]. For example, patients treated with antitumor necrosis factor (TNF) showed decreased hospitalization risk, indicating the protective effects of anti-TNF monotherapy against severe COVID-19. Antimalarial drugs (such as hydroxychloroquine), non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and biologic therapies were not related to increasing the risk of hospitalization due to COVID-19. In contrast, patients who received moderate to high dose glucocorticoids had poor prognoses and clinical outcomes[177,178]. However, other factors may also play a role in the clinical outcome that need more studies.'

Did your doctor start any treatments when you first tested positive?

I had tapered off Prednisone when I caught COVID and I had a mild case that lasted 7 days with 2 days of low-grade fever. Unfortunately, it triggered my PMR, so I'm back on 2 mg. Prednisone now.
