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).

When I was accepted into the microbiology department at San Diego State University as a grad student, the department head insisted that everyone get a TB and Coccidiomycosis test. The department head lost a lung to Valley Fever. I did the skin tests. The TB faded as usual, but the coccidiomycosis made a red patch that nearly wrapped around my arm. I was sent for a chest X-ray where the radiographic pattern matched a coccidiomycosis infection that is walled off. TB and Valley Fever present differently. One appears like perfectly punched out circles. The other as amorphous blobs.
