I'm not so sure about your take on nursing or teaching. My ex wife was a teacher. I worked in tech and she was a teacher and we made close to the same amount, but she only worked 9 months out of the year. Also, i work in healthcare, and nurses make a lot of money, at least in my area. They can go to school for 2 years and come out making almost twice the median income for my area. Also, travel nurses can expect to make 2-3 times that.

You may or may not be able to comment on this, but i'd appreciate your thoughts. I was diagnosed at 32 as a male with RA. I've been on Cimzia for 7 of those 9 years. It has worked well for me.

My question has to do specifically with COVID-19 and TNF-blockers. I know you mentioned in an earlier comment that it is important to stay on TNF blockers during this pandemic. What are your thoughts on TNF blockers actually helping prevent infection of covid-19? My wife and I traveled early during the pandemic before it was considered a big deal in the US. We think she ended up actually getting the virus, but we weren't able to get tested even though i work in healthcare, because at that time it just wasn't possible to get tested unless you were almost dead. She was very sick for 16 days and i cared for her but was left untouched with zero symptoms other than an elevated temperature for a few days. After researching myself (im a google doctor, just like everyone else), i seemed to have put together that TNF blockers might actually help prevent covid due to the nature of ACE2 receptors interacting with TNF and being inhibited. What are your thoughts?

Not sure why you are getting downvoted because what you say is completely accurate. I've used ck for a year or two. It is a great service for basic monitoring for free. My credit score on ck is about 50 points lower than what my real score is, but if you are in the market for a purchase, it's better to think your score is lower than higher.
