I have not had Covid (yet) and fingers crossed that I won't. With the current upsurge in all things respiratory/viral, I've been terrified of getting Covid on top of PMR.

These comments have allayed my fears somewhat.

I still plan to wear a mask when out in public - my state is in the RED zone with Covid cases.

Ditto. The use of masks in my red state was sporadic in the worst of days. It’s virtually non existent today. I’m immune compromised due to RA Biologics, so still wear a mask every time I go indoors.

I had Covid for the first time Nov 1 2023 and my PMR symptoms were virtually non-existent. It was the best I had felt since my initial diagnosis in July 2023. I did not take Plaxovid or any other treatment for the virus. My rheumatologist was baffled but was happy that I felt so good. Of course as I recovered from the virus the PMR symptoms returned. It's interesting to read that my experience was not unusual.
