I rang my rheumatology nurse on Monday and asked if there were any measures being put in place in the clinic that I need to know about when I come for my bloods and prescription in a few weeks. She said no everything is just the same and told me to carry on my daily life as normal. I took it upon myself to self isolate because I’m on Baricitinib, have high Bp and plaques in my arteries. I’ve also been on Prednisolone for 7 years without a break.
I came across these guidelines tonight from NHS England and know they’re subject to change given the current climate but found them interesting.
Thank you for posting this. Extremely helpful. as I'm on Cimzia and MTX and I have asthma and AF. Very sobering to see it and it has put paid to any thoughts I had of nipping out to the shops etc. Added to this was the footage of an Italian hospital from Sky News and it really brought it all home to me.
