Reply to "Positive For Covid and Remicade Infusion Cancelled"

Chiming in here....

I've been on Remicade since 2015 and have been very careful re Covid, living like a hermit mostly, not easy on the marriage.  Finally got Covid 3 weeks ago after a trip.  Had a rough 5 days with but it never got into my lungs and my oxygen saturation levels never fell below normal range.  Headache, body aches, loss of smell and night sweats for two weeks.  I'm over it now after 4 weeks, but lost 10 pounds, mostly I think because food is not very appealing when your sense of smell is absent, which is slowly coming back.   Anyway, glad a survived Covid as it has freed me from my Covid anxiety.  I've had worse flu experiences than this infection and very glad that my immune system seems to still be functioning reasonably well for an old guy on Remicade.  BTW timing worked out and I didn't miss an infusion.
