Anyone who has had covid, did you stop taking the methotrexate?
I did. I automatically stop methotrexate any time I have an infection - don’t wait for your doctor to tell you; sometimes they forget.
Also, because of my immune system and all the other meds I take, my doctor put me on antivirals during my first few days of testing positive and because of those I had to reduce my steroids too. Apparently Paxlovid increases the strength of steroids and opioids. I’ve worn a low dose fentanyl patch for years and was told I had to take it off.
I hope you’re feeling okay!
