A member asked:
Does having fibromyalgia make me high risk during this pandemic. what do we know about the nervous system interaction between fibromyalgia and covid?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
COVID 19 risk: From what I have read, having Fibromyalgia alone does not increase risk for more severe COVID 19 infection. The problem is when someone has an autoimmune disorder (i.e., rheumatoid arthritis or lupus) also as Fibromyalgia - that can increase risk.
