COVID-19
Hi, I work for the NHS and I’ve seen the asthma UK guidance on isolating for 12 weeks. I apparently fall into this category as I am taking symbicort 400/12 two puffs twice daily. I didn’t realise my asthma was severe I knew it was worse then the average. I have not yet received any message or letter

Lupus/dermatomyositis overlap for 12 years
Hi, I have had Lupus/dermatomyositis overlap for 12 years. Last September I came off immunosuppressants and have been well since then. I have just started to get joint pain again in my fingers. -What I wanted to ask is should I be self isolating? I still get the flu jab. Thanks

I'm unsure what to do
Hi I'm a childcare worker with mild copd , I'm not sure because I'm mild should I be self isolating. ? If my family have their way I should not leave the house are they overreacting ? I saw the list of vulnerable persons and it states people much worse than me . But others say if you get the flu

Who will be asked to stay in
Hello, I have Bronchiectasis and asthma. All is controlled.... I take medication and have a Nebulizer for the salt and water stuff and take 3 antibiotics a week. I am fine with all of that. I don’t need carers and I am well. Do you think I will be on that list? I also have the flu jab. Mary xx

Stop meds or carry on taking
Methotrexate and biologic for rhem arth means I'm immunocompromised. 53 years old. Normal flu is a threat hence we are given a flu jab. Covid 19 is much more contagious and more severe. Surely it's prudent to stop taking meds until a vaccine arrives. But that could be a year. Medical advice is to keep

Covid-19's fatality rate per age group - Be careful!
Get your groceries to stock up and self-quarantine if possible to avoid the very contagious virus, especially if you're in the highly compromised group. The symptoms of infectious people can seem as mild as seasonal allergies or no symptom. Be sure you're not deficient in D and Zinc to help fight the

Covid-19 & Afib
Hi I'm in a dilemma, I am on medication and further tests re Afib. I'm having tests as up until January my Afib had been very stable. Since January I seem to be having episodes everyday. I don't want to overreact but are you socially isolating including speaking to employer to arrange to work from

Some advice on self isolating please.
I wonder if anyone could offer advise. I suffer with asthma that is pretty poorly controlled. I have a Qvar preventer inhaler and the usual blue inhaler. I normally have to take my blue inhaler 2-3 times a day. I always end up with chest infections when I get a cold and was really poorly when I contracted

More vulnerable to Covid 19 with only one kidney?
I was diagnosed with kidney cancer in 2017 and had my right kidney removed - I am in remission but as I now only have one kidney have a reduced kidney function which I understand is normal. I do get the flu jab free ( I am 58). I have spoken to lots of different organisation about whether I should consider

Vaccination advice
My lupus diagnosis is fairly recent and I haven't had the pneumococcal or flu vaccines. I spoke to the lupus nurse yesterday and she advised me to have them if my GP surgery is happy to do them. So, I rang my GP and unfortunately got to speak to an incredibly unpleasant doctor, who I avoid whenever possible

Do you have RA? Are you advised to have a Flu Jab each year?
If the answer is yes to both the above questions - then you must practice social distancing! Flabbergasted, there are some people who still don’t understand this!!
