I take Humira and I got COVID so my GI I stop taking the Humira. After about three weeks I had a flare up and my GI put me on Prednisone, Flagyl and Cipro. After I tapered the Prednisone and went back to Humira. After another three weeks I got COVID again. Again my GI said to hold off on the Humira and put me on prednisone again. I have a cold now with my chest full of phlegm. I check for COVID it was negative.
I know that Humira lowers your immune system. I recently read that Prednisone also lowers your immune system.
It seems like I'm caught in a loop between a cold and COVID. I work close to other people and don't want to spread either to my co-workers. I always wear a mask.
Any ideas on this dilemma.
