Did anyone here catch Covid while on immunosuppressants

Hi everyone!
I’m just wondering if anyone on here caught Covid while on immunosuppressant drugs and how did you cope? Did it affect you or were you ok and what were your symptoms? Many thanks ❤️

  1. Hi , while we wait on others in the community to share their experiences, I included a link to articles we have on IBD and Covid - https://inflammatoryboweldisease.net/spotlight/living-covid19. How are you feeling today? Wishing you a speedy recovery. Hugs, Jessica, InflammatoryBowelDisease.net Team Member

    1. Thank you so much I really appreciate that. Still feeling rough but trying to tough it out. I did have some tests done at the hospital on Monday just to check my bloods and blood cultures etc for any worse infections but all came back normal. It also seems to off unsettled my stomach too a bit. ❤️

      1. Hi ! I haven't had COVID, but I do know some people on immunosuppressents who have. From what I heard, it is rough but a lot of people have managed well. I think these are all people who also have been up to date on their vaccinations. Glad all your tests came back normal and hope you get lots of rest! -Eshani (IBD Team Member)

        1. hi I caught covid last year whilst on immunosupressants (azathioprine) it felt like a cold but worse ( I knew I felt different and fully lost my taste and smell) but I got over it. My taste and smell has changed to this day with certain foods but its getting there slowly hope you're okay ❤️ x

          1. Thank you Stacey. I’m finally over covid now but that was a rough ride. ❤️
