Lupus(other rheumatic diseases) & Relationship with Current COVID-19 event.
Hello to everyone here @ LRA!
I am new to the site but not to Lupus or other rheumatic conditions. I was diagnosed 10 years ago and am grateful to have the opportunity to communicate with everyone here.
Given the recent COVID-19 pandemic and its subsequent fall out I wanted to seek out any additional information individuals may have regarding the relationship between autoimmune diseases and COVID-19. Additionally, I would like to lend support, encouragement and sharing the existing information I have on the topic.
Again, new to the site- I welcome any and all suggestions and greetings.
Everyone stay safe and well!
Kindest Regards,
Katie

There is also something I read about called a cytokine storm that the virus is causing, and that is supposed to be something autoimmune patients are prone to getting. I would say that we would need to just try to be as safe as possible. I feel like knowledge is power, and the more we learn, the more we can do with the information. I have also heard be careful about any natural supplements you take that they don't increase risk for a flare.
