Sorry to hear that and I’m sure those posts will help you decide. Have you been sent the PCR kit? If so send it back and you should get a call telling you where you go to get the medication that will hopefully help your reaction. If no call you phone. 119.

If you haven’t had a kit then push for the medication (I think it’s called Monoprivier)

Please keep us updated.
