Letter from GP about Covid-19

Well I got my letter from my GP about the Coronavirus. Looks like I will have to arrange a delivery service for my monthly medication pick up. Seven pages letter explaining the lock down for people that have RA. Has anyone else out there got one of these?

No but I had a telephone consultation with my GP this morning and she asked if I was going out. I said I was having my daily walk.

She is going to change something that I wasn’t getting on with and her parting shot was that she would email it to my pharmacy and I could get someone to go and pick it up for me which made me wonder why she didn’t think I would be getting it for myself.

I wasn’t expecting a letter but there might be one yet if they are just being sent out.

Had mine this morning from my consultant. Lucky that my husband and son can pick up stuff for me. Do we still have to have blood tests as I can't get up to the hospital to have them. Have no car,my mum normally takes me . But she is self isolating with my dad as both over 70.
