Shielding text/letter

Hi. I have never written on here before! So hello fellow MPN people.

I received a text message on Monday to tell me I am at risk and need to stay at home for 12 weeks(a little longer than that) . Will I also get a letter or do you get one or the other?

I hope you are all well.

Hi Kaye,

I received a letter, but no text message and it looks like it was sent by my GP practice, so I suspect they choose what format they want to do and you just receive the one.

All the best and stay safe,

Joe

Thanks for replying..I was worrying as I'm getting lots of messages about staying at home.... I have heard (on social media..so not sure it is true) that there are some spam messages being sent!!

Hi Kaye do you mind me asking which MPN you have and what medication you're on? There appears to be an awful lot of confusion around wether MPN s put you at higher risk of complications if you get caronravirus or not?

Not what you're looking for?
