Hello Donna, my name is Terri, I have been here at MyPsoriasisTeam for awhile, learned new things, which i love ❤️ and I know some thing also. To share... YES, I myself asked the same questions to my PcP, My Dermatologist, & my Rheumatologist. They all recommended me to definitely GO & get my FLU, my COVID, But Always Ask Your Own Physician if you should do ANYTHING, that could be invasive to your body, that would be the best advice. But since I was On the STUDY FOR SKYRIZI ( 6YEARS TOTAL) & proud of it ,😊 I got every single shot an Elderly Female , With all these Commbidities & weaken immue system is suppose to recieve, i feel it has Saved me in many ways from taking them. See Skyrizi in itself is to put up a fight against, example, INFLAMMATION, bad stuff, real bad stuff, but in the meantime , it will LOWERS your body from FIGHTING OFF what may Enter & harm. Say, if a healthier person gets a COLD 🥶 🤧 🤔 OR the flu, they could probably beat that sickness ,pretty good, & then in their way. But not Me, I need to really be cautious of what, who and why I would place myself ard anyone who is sick. I avoided being ard mid to large gatherings . See I am also Almost not yet though, 71years old, and I can't wait until JULY, then its official, hehe So just being OLD, I am Compromised . But I know what I have to do to PROTECT myself BETTER. And I do just that. Can be a big deal but Ps, PsA, etc, loves when A Person Stresses, gets Anxiety, LOVES WORRIERS, It THRIVES over our insecurities, So beware. SOUNDS like so so much. But you can get thru this, Diane, I promise, not over night ,but in time and with help here, I have been with these diseases for many, many decades, & MyPsoriasisTeam has done more for me in Understanding, in facts, in knowing myself worth, lots i
Of good stuff and I found it here. Its all good in this side, come on OVER , and join in. You got this. DIANE you do.
Thanks
