Hi everyone,
Hope you are all safe and well.
Query - I have PSA, Asthma, Underactive Thyroid and Fibromylgia. Meds include Methotrexate. Got the 'shielding' letter from my GP at end of March. 3 monthly bloods due end of May. I have not left my home since receiving letter. My Health Centre where I normally get bloods done is closed for collecting prescriptions, all GP appts are by telephone triage etc. So...how is it safe to leave homeand go 'somewhere/anywhere' yet to be confirmed to get bloods done? I have looked online and notice some areas have drawn up a template whereby blood monitoring may be extended to 4 to 6 months etc, dependent upon criteria of meds, patient etc.
Anyone have experience of extensions or getting bloods done during these scary times?
Quite anxious about it tbh.
Thanks in advance for replies
