How interesting. I have lupus and I’m in a very small lupus-related subreddit (<5,000 members) and we’ve had quite a few posts from people who are claiming they had COVID-19 and now have lupus. I kind assumed they were just having the lingering COVID symptoms that have been in the news rather than actual lupus. Perhaps there is a relation after all?
"Based on our study, we propose that type I IFN deficiency is a hallmark of severe COVID-19 and infer that severe COVID-19 patients might be potentially relieved from the IFN deficiency by IFN administration and from exacerbated inflammation by adapted anti-inflammatory therapies targeting IL-6 or TNF-α, a hypothesis worth cautious testing."
Perhaps enjoy some turmeric to lower IL-6, which is widely used to positive effect in many non-pharma regimens and is also complimentary with some pharma.
