Rheumatoid arthritis. The latent Valley Fever in my lungs takes immunosuppresant options off the table. I am using acetaminophen as needed to avoid blood thinning after having 7 polyps snipped. I only use it at bedtime to allow sleep. I can just gut out the pain during awake hours.

Are you confirmed to have “latent Valley Fever?” Antibodies may be perfectly fine.

I know some approaches to combat rheumatoid arthritis that shouldn't negatively affect immunity do exist.

Also, I found this:

“Dr. Sudano will present on his research findings titled “Management of Asymptomatic Coccidioidomycosis in Patients with Rheumatic Disease”. The study suggests that it may be safe to continue treatment in patients with asymptomatic cocci (Valley Fever).
