In reply to Brenda phillip. I was on the indeterminate spectrum of my DSDNA. In 2019 as I worked on strengthening my health and just started to take 200 mg of Hydroxychloroquine I got Covid Early in March. I was hospitalized with pneumonia and went home after 3 days. Covid19 pushed my body into positive DSDNA and worse autoimmune symptoms. I am so upset I didn't have a chance to protect myself because they hadn't yet shutdown and really say how bad Covid was. Now I am told they are not sure if I should take the vaccine. But don't think I could handle another infection either

Thank you for all the updates & staying safe as much as you possibly can. I have Lupus, I didn’t go to work since 3-26-20, my rheumatologist told me to go to work because my blood tests are normal & he cannot exempt me from work, my pcp told me to stay home for 1-2 months until this pandemic is over, I’ve to use my vacation, sick, personal time in order to get paid from my job, what do I do once this is over, also was it right that my rheumatologist told me to continue working, I guess he wants me to get sick and die ? I also have other pre-existing medical conditions

Hi Lupus sufferer I am on Azothyaprin Benlysta and Hydroxychloroquine because I have a severe case. Now what do I do? Unsure of anything right now? Really? This disease SLE which I have had for many years is scary and now what do I do? Meds? No meds? Huh afraid of it all.

Two family members currently are taking hydroxychoriquine (HCQ) for lupus and RA. Is there any data from anywhere in the world that shows whether anyone that has been taking HCQ has contracted Covid 19? For example, if 350,000 people in the US have contracted the desease, how many of those have been on a dose of HQC? That should be an easy answer for the CDC to determine and would go a long way in assessing the efficacy of HCQ as a prophylactic.

In reply to Kathy Gahagan. I was told by my pharmacist in NY that they were working under guidelines to prioritize existing Plaquenil patients . It may be determined state by state, but also by how often the President mentions it as a viable treatment

In reply to Jennifer J Carlson, Esq..

Hello,

Thank you for the comments. We appreciate your initiative in adding additional information. The WHO report states that chloroquine is a priority research area. An additional quote from the WHO article states,

“In guidance published on Friday, the U.S. Society of Critical Care Medicine said ‘there is insufficient evidence to issue a recommendation on the use of chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine in critically ill adults with COVID-19.'”

We appreciate your feedback and will keep updating the article as news progresses.
