I had Covid in August, felt ill, but not terrible for 2 days then recovered, without any antiviral treatment although I was due to have an infusion on day 3. By then my symptoms had almost gone. I'll see how I go on.Once again thank you all for your detailed advice.

When I went in to see my Consultant I asked if she had had any of her Rituximab patients who had caught Covid but hadn’t had either Antibody or Antiviral treatment and she said about half and they all got through it without hospitalisation apart from 1.

I tested positive for Covid on Saturday evening and I am having real difficulty in accessing antiviral treatment (I should be entitled to receive it due to immunosuppression). I had thought before getting Covid that it would be a very smooth system but that is definitely not the case!

Covid dispatch team just rang asking if I wanted to be prescribed antiviral treatment or if I feel my immune is fighting it? Sorry but how the heck do I know that??? I said I'm terrified given I'm still living with long covid from 2019. She said the meds have no impact on long covid.

After managing to avoid COVID until now (and I work in a department store!) I tested positive last Saturday. After I registered my positive test with NHS I then called 111 (no phone service at my GP as Easter Sunday) regarding my eligibility for the antiviral drugs. Within an hour I got a call from a

Following my recent post, I had a phone call yesterday morning from a doctor at our local hospital to assess my need for the treatment. Yes, I needed it but unfortunately the tablets were not suitable because of an existing medication so I needed the infusion. Unfortunately, they had no more appointments

Morning. This old chestnut again I'm afraid. I spoke to my sister yesterday evening. She has had aortic valve replacement. She said her dental hygienist refused to carry out a clean without prophylactic antibiotic cover. NICE guidelines have changed. Her dentist was not so sure. Long
