I’m shielding I’m a nurse I’ve had rheumatoid arthritis for about twenty something years I had a really bad car accident when I was younger so my arthritis came on a lot quicker due to shock to the body I’m feeling a little down in the dumps

    I am in awe of the work that the medical profession is doing, hopefully your shielding will not last that long and you can get back amongst your colleagues who will pick you up.
