I’m expecting one but even if I don’t I’m not going out and my family are only leaving to go to work because they are key workers. My employer sent me home on Wednesday and I’m not allowed back until all this madness is over.
You'll soon know, the letters are going out immediately I understand. If you're not on the list then self isolation will be the way to go which I think all of us should be doing wherever possible.
Having adrenal insufficiency we are on the high risk group, however we are only immunosuppressed when we are on 400mgs of Hydrocortisone or more, whereas ours is a replacement dose. The issue for us that if we do get the virus then we run the risk of getting a more severe version of it because we will need to increase our steroids to help our body to cope with the virus. Check out the information on the websites of The Pituitary Foundation, the Addison's Society or the Endocrine Society.
