Blood Testing

After radio silence from rheumatoid nurse since before lockdown, rang consultant's office and finally advised that I need to continue with blood tests - on Imraldi and Leflunomide. Thankfully booked at GP's when I have to take my husband for his appointment.

Reading other posts everything seems to be all over the place with different instructions and procedures. Hope it all settles to some normality soon. Keep safe, keep well. x

Glad you've got that sorted Sali. I know what ou mean. It's taken everyone 6 weeks to work out who is extremely vulnerable, who needs to go to hospital, where we go for blood tests. One friend whose shielding had a community nurse do her blood tests but I've been told I'm OK to go to the surgery.

I have my bloods taken at home these days and at a time when it suits me. It £10 but it is money well spent in my eyes at least.xxx
