Such an interesting read. I was struck by the timeframe the studies were saying risk was highest - with many being within 12 months, it makes me wonder if Covid caused the autoimmune disease *or* triggered or reactivated it? It’s interesting to me because in Feb 2020 I got a viral infection that caused long term symptoms that ended up leading to a Lyme disease diagnosis that was likely from an infection years ago I didn’t even know about!
I greatly appreciate your work and hope one day there will be a post about how we have strong therapeutics and/or vaccines that can reduce the damage this virus does!
