Hello all! Hope someone remembers me lol. I’m not on often these days.

I just tested positive today for covid. I work in healthcare and caught covid from asymptomatic clients while I wore a mask... it’s frustrating. I’m careful, clean my desk every day, wash and sanitize, and still... then I’m scared my two year old has it too or that I spread it to other fragile clients. Ugh!! I also have asthma.

No symptoms yet except stomach cramping and nausea. I started b12, d3, c and melatonin.

Also just scheduled a scope for Feb 3rd so that may not even happen before my GI leaves the state.

Has anyone dealt with covid and uc/imuran??? What worked?

Hi Siren - I have not dealt with covid and uc/imuran (my colon was long gone by the time COVID came along) but I wanted to say, hang in there, keep us posted, and I am thinking of you!

Sending good thoughts. Add in some zinc and elderberry.

No experience with COVID myself but just wanted to say my friends 3 yr old granddaughter just had COVID. She ran a high fever and was lethargic and complained of tummy and headaches. I don’t think she had a cough at all. Fever would go down with medication but return as soon as the med wore off. After about 4 days her fever broke (left her dripping all over) and she’s feeling fine since.

Good luck!!!

My PCR from the day before my positive rapid test came back negative, so I just had a third test done. Hoping it comes back negative and I just had a false positive!!

Fingers crossed! Those rapid tests are not as reliable for sure. Hope you are feeling ok and get your next PCR test results quickly!
