COVID-19 and RA

Posted by bbjones @bbjones, Dec 8, 2020

Interested in what precautions others may have been given by your rheumatologist concerning the virus. Being around grandchildren , etc. I’m currently on methotrexate and enbrel.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Autoimmune Diseases Support Group.

@bbjones I understand that you are interested in learning about the precautions others may have learned from their rheumatologist regarding COVID-19 and RA.

You will notice that I have also included your post in the COVID-19 group as well to allow for additional members to participate in this discussion.

Here is a specific discussion for members with RA, if you are interested.

Is your main concern regarding your ability to be around your grandchildren so I can help bring in members who may be more in line with providing their feedback?
