Yes. I was doubled vaccinated and boosted. I was also pregnant though. (HCQ is fine to take during pregnancy). I was close to going to the hospital but recovered at home luckily.

I was being very careful too but got it from a family member during a small family Easter dinner.

Yes, I have an overactive immune system because of Rheumatoid Arthritis. My immune system gets bored and likes to attack my joints for fun.

My doctor did mention the medication would make me more susceptible. I’ll have to look more into it, thank you!

There were people calling for it as prevention and as a healing medicine.

As someone who takes HCQ for rheumatoid arthritis there’s no way it could prevent infection because the medication actually suppresses the immune system and makes me immunosuppressed.
