Has Anyone Had Covid And RA At Same Time?
Has Anyone Had Covid And RA At Same Time?
I had covid for 18 days with low grade fever. During the time i was fighting Covid all my symptoms with RA went away. My hands wrists hips and shoulder pain and stiffness went away. One week after my fever broke the symptoms all came back with vengeance. Has anyone else experience this?

Yes, I had Covid and my RA and SLE both got really bad. It was no fun.
