Have any of you had to stop treatments such as benlysta infusions or stop dr visits because of covid ? I haven't been able to get my infusions or been to an appointment since march. My symptoms are bearable for now but with the heat ive been flaring. Just wondering how you all are coping ?

Are your doctor's office open? Go see your rheumatologist. If not open, then do a teleconference. Praying for you!

You're not alone, I haven't been able to get any of mine either. Plenty of pill refills though and I have only been able to do virtual check up appointments.

I havent seen my eye dr nor my rheumy since the pandemic started. Thankfully i am doing okay but surely will have to go to an eye appt as soon as all this is over. I usually go twice a year and i went in Feb before all this happened. Ive only had two virtual appts with my PCP. I even wasted a lot of money on glasses but cant wear em lol. I have to wait for this to be over too so i can go get em fixed wo i can finally wear them ! (I cant see with them. The prescription is too strong on em )
