RA severe pain, what helps?

I had 2 doses (at 2 weeks apart). Then I got Covid. I had to skip a dose and take it after Covid. I am really hurting in the mornings. After ibuprofen and Tylenol a couple of times I can at least move. I have prednisone left and have been tempted to put myself of it but hang back since Dr. didn’t think I should go on it again. He said I could do 1/day but I didn’t find that helped. Suggestions?

At the risk of sounding like your Mother, do you wear masks everywhere you go inside? When you are on immunosuppressants you can’t get away with minimal effort to avoid infection. You really have to develop aggressive habits to avoid infection of any kind - because it can get away from you quickly and then you’re fighting in a hospital. Wear masks, stay out of crowds when possible, keep your hands off your face, wash your hands frequently - everything you already know about.
