Hello dear members,

While the Coronavirus epidemic concerns many across the UK (and Carenity members too), I've created this discussion to allow you to talk specifically about the virus in the context of cancer, as we all know that patients can be weakened by their treatments.

Have you had any special instructions from your doctor regarding your care? Are you going to limit your travel? Do you have any advice for others?

Take care,

Courtney

Morning everyone. I was diagnosed april last year and my MS was triggered my some impacts id had to my back emoticon sarcastic I have relapsing & remitting MS and currently have Tysabri infusions. I havent heard anything from gov or gp re isolating, but I am... well as best as I can. I have 3 children 22, 17 & 9 and we are learning together all about my MS after an aggressive start... relapse, after relapse, after relapse!! Life is, surprisingly to some when they ask me, going good, I have MS & now Covid19 worries, but currently the MS doesnt have me like it did the first half of last year, The dark cloud that was also over our house has lifted and that has left us all learning what our normal is now and liking what we find.... inc me getting a new man emoticon wink lol . Happy to chat to anyone, if that would help destress you, I look at it like we are all in same boat ~ we just all have diff style boats. Sue

Bless you all we are all in the same boat it seems. Now we have each other. The drs dont really help. Most dont know much about themselves. I keep fighting this battle with ms. Covid virus is so scary I'm so terrified. I cry most days so worried about my family and friends too. Keep your chin up as they say. Cheers everyone

I try to not think about this coroner virus as it doesnt help ms. I think as long as we are all keeping as safe as we can be that's all we can do. I miss hugging my daughter and three grand children. But it a small price if we get to be close to them.......................... take care you lovely people on here sharing our worries with each other cheers x

Hi ms warrior 123 I too am getting stressed about delivery slots being taken. No one seems to realise we cant all get out to go to supermarkets. Hope the weather cheers you up. Stay safe x

I found out if you're up early hours 2ish you can generally get a slot with asda... and if you pay monthly for delivery can make it a reoccurring slot... but only by choosing reoccurring on that first bit of having chosen a slot!! Ive found its midnight for tesco slots... but u get put in queue and its a no faffing about when get put through!!

Hope this helps ppl & keep safe n smiling xx
