Hi Sassy, thanks for your reply.

Hi I have just had the text message as well. A bit suprised as although over 70 my COPD was classed as moderate at my last review in November. Has really knocked me for 6. I was isolating anyway but had hoped to escape occassionally . My husband died 3 months ago and this on top of everything else is not helping. I have great neighbours but I am usually fiercely independent. O well better do as I am told. Good luck everyone.

Hi. I’m Moderate COPD and received my letter. I have read that ‘Shielded’ status referred to those specifically with Stage 3/4 Severe COPD. I’ve not had any exacerbations for 2.5 yrs, never been in hospital and manage very well. I don’t think the NHS had time to read individual Medical reports so everyone with COPD has had that letter. In light of this I’ve decided I can go for a short walk twice a week whilst ensuring I distance myself from others. Walking early morning is usually the quietest time. I am not going into any shops or placing myself at any unnecessary risk.

Not what you're looking for?
