Lock down.

[Dia bando]

I have just dropped some shopping and school work stuff for the grand kids around to the daughters, and had to leave it in the porch so as not to come in contact. There are so many of us in the 'at risk' category in my family it is a bit tricky to get everything sorted out. Technically i am 'at risk' because both Ankylosing Spondylitis and Psoriatic Arthritis are auto immune diseases and if anything happened to me my Mrs would be up shit creek without a paddle, but so is she, her daughter and oldest grandson, oh and her mother too. Scary times.

Well done mate stay safe.

Beaner I don’t want to get personal so please ignore if this is but did a doc warn you about the psoriatic issue. I have it but stopped all treatment as my skin is ok and I’m not overwhelmed by pain. I wonder if being off the meds helps or hurts at times like this. @Beanz

Heard that on the radio. Sick cunts. I did a food run for a couple of people and myself so one shop for each. Some bloke in a mini co op got his knickers in a twist at being told 1 item per person. Threatened to come straight back to buy a second bottle and cough all over the shop. You can’t account for stupid.

Boots were letting 4 people at a time and the one person who missed the cut and would have to wait started moaning to the manager at the door that he was clean of the virus with evidence. Prat.

Nobody let into our Boots. We all queued 2 meters apart outside and they dispensed prescriptions through the hatch. Took about 45 mins and the queue was half across the precinct.

B&M and Bodycare shops were open but serving at a safe distance.

It along with Ankylosing Spondylitis is the reason the civil service gave for retiring me on health grounds in my 30's. I gave up all meds about 7 years ago and I think if you have already stopped using them, you are probably better off without the meds right now. I don't know what you were prescribed, but assume it was some kind of anti-inflammatory like NSAIDS, and at the end of the day they work by dampening down the bodies immune response. There is a lot of rubbish being spread about Ibuprofen, but even so Doctors are suggesting using Paracetemol instead until they understand more about the virus.

I am trying to keep active because not moving you will know is really bad for any kind of arthritis and you soon lock up.

i was on the big guns like humira and embrel for a while. Of the docs want you on them for life but I don’t like shooting biological meds into my body. I’ve been following it since I first took it and seriously I’d say 4-6 months treatment gives me years of relief so why the hell stay on the shit. I gave up on being completely pain free but my current pain level is no where near debilitating I can chop my own wood, go hiking etc so I see no reason to load up on those serious drugs when I’m at this level.
