    I really appreciate this information. We're all a bit worried. I think I'm just gonna start taking one pill instead of two until things calm down a bit so I don't run out.

    I’ve been experiencing the flare ups ongoing for about three months before they announced the Coronavirus. I’ve tested positive for strep throat three times within two months. They prescribed steroids and doxycycline the first two times. On Thursday I was prescribed azythromicin and have two more days to go. My flare ups have ranged from headaches, dizziness, skin sensitivity, my heart condition for three days, fatigue, body aches in different locations constant, weight loss again, nausea and vomiting almost daily. I’ve exhausted all my funds last year on Rhuematologist and cardiologist. On February 18, 2019 was rushed into an emergency cardiac cath after undergoing the heart echo and sonogram over time. Is there any help for people financially ? Any help would be greatly appreciated. ❤️

      I have SLE and live in a city with rapid community spread, I believe I have been exposed two days ago. I'll do my best to update here if anyone is curious to know how things unfold for me..? ❗Not on any maintenance medication at the time though❗ 23 years old, no fever today but dry cough is mildly there when I breathe deeply. Let me know if you'd like to hear what happens for me in the next few days/weeks :) I'm happy to share, as much as situations permit.

      I’ve been taking plaquenil for 8 years and caught covid and have been extremely ill for almost 5 weeks. I work in health care and have missed 5 weeks of work and I’m still not back. I have never been this sick in my entire life. I have not had a problem with my lupus flaring up since I was 18 (I’m going to be 26 soon) and my body just can not kick this virus.
