[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think there are some older medications for auto immune issues that medical researchers haven't figured out why/how they work. Do you get regular colds etc. more often or more severely than others? That might be an indication of whether you're more susceptible to this, but it seems like there's very little guidance out there. I've been trying to figure out whether to request telework due to similar concerns. [/quote]

I have two young children (7/4) and I usually seem to get either milder versions of their colds or nothing, but when I got the flu last year almost ended up in the hospital with pneumonia. Antibiotics worked quickly enough that I was able to avoid it but I’ve never been sicker than that. I had had the flu shot and get it every year. My AI disease hasn’t been dx yet, though, so I wasn’t on immune suppressing therapy yet. I am SOOOO glad I’m not on prednisone right now, though! I spent much of this past year on high doses of that and would for sure be sheltering in place right now.[/quote]
