Had covid before Xmas. Had it pretty mildly really. Presumably, i now have antibodies that will protect me a bit but does the humira destroy the antibodies or stop them developing? Any thoughts on this? Thankyou.

Franny,

I know they are doing tests on Remicade which have shown benefits for people in a Covid 19 cykotine storm. I haven't found anything on Humira. If I do I will post it here.

How are you feeling? I would think that with the Humira in your system you would fair better than the general population. Anyone else out there know anything? Ideas?

I hope you stay safe and healthy!

Clo

Update to this - i was selected for a covid antibody test as i had had covid. I have antibodies. This is nothing to do with being double vaccinated - they can distinguish between the two. So encouraging.

I don't have an answer to your question but I can tell you that they can check your antibodies for humira.

I had mine done this year, and I am good I have not developed a tolerance to humira. I don't have antibodies for it so I decided to stay on it.

Promethues is the company who does the testing. They sent someone to my house to draw blood and insurance covered it. Your doctor does have to order the test though.
