Risk?

[Sheila_G]

I think it is so difficult to know what category of risk we are in because there are literally thousands of combinations. I thought I was high but not sure if very high now as I take 17.5 methotrexate and have bronchiostasis. Can anyone let me know please? x

Hi Sheila

If you look at Moomin8 post from earlier this morning there’s some guidance on there, it’s made things a lot clearer for us. Stay well xx

I think we use our own discretion if we live alone it’s no problem we can go into a garden if we have one, or go out for a walk on our own as long as we keep 2 m distance from anyone else out walking

I think common sense dictates we won’t be rushing around Aldi at 10 am?

There is a website with a table actually naming all the drugs and any other diseases you may have to add to your total to decide which category you fall into.

But I think if you just think « I must keep myself safe « you can’t go wrong.

This is the chart. If you have a co-morbidity and take two immune suppressing drugs that seems to be considered high risk. Since you only take one drug then perhaps you are on the borderline - but not worth the risk so protect yourself fully.

That is a good chart... I seem to be in the moderate risk.. well controlled disease and on mtx and Humira.
