Government guidelines say you have to wait seven days until the COVID 19 virus get worse in our bodies before we go to the hospital, they quote breathing problems, shortness of breath etc, that’s in a non lupus suffers, I have kidney and heart problems plus severe anaemia diabetes, the virus will work differently in our bodies even though my lupus is stable Any time I have a infection or a flare I lose a tiny bit of kidney function. my kidney function is at 33 at the moment so guys even though I don’t have the symptoms of what 111 claim will get me seen I have to judge by my own lupus history what would be bad for me if I caught the virus. I ask you all be extra careful were not made the same we will all experience illnesses differently, I know the NHS is busy and no one wants to be a burden, but know your own bodies and stuff the guidelines not everyone is the same.

Good advice. 🙏
I’m worried about my kidney function too. I feel it cannot afford to take another hit after a huge flare I had last year. I’m doing everything I can to avoid getting Covid-19, as I am sure you are too. Good Luck!
You take care too, when I have a flare my kidney function is the first thing to be effected, we can’t wait 7 days last time I was admitted my count went down to 17 in 3 hours after I went into a flare so please listen to your bodies not the guidance given. Keep safe, stay safe x
