"Has anyone else on here suffer with diabetes, asthma and blood pressure? If so what are you doing are you working or isolating?" under the rules of the Civil Service i got "sent on special leave" so basically self isolating... we have been told 12 weeks... apparently a lot of people have asked if we can come in an at least help out... to which the answer from the higher ups have been no... so... 11 weeks at least to go!!! | |||

"Has anyone else on here suffer with diabetes, asthma and blood pressure? If so what are you doing are you working or isolating?" I'm asthmatic. I've been in isolation the past two weeks so far. A colleague went to a conference in which several attendees fell ill and tested positive, so my colleagues (whom I'd been in contact with) were asked to self-isolate for 7 days. My daughter came down with a cough and my wife came down with flu-like symptoms (temp, sweats, headaches, etc) for a few days. So we've all been home. Nothing progressed any further and all feeling fine now. I'd be very interested if we get post-viral testing in place to see if we did have a mild infection here. My asthma has actually been amazingly well over the past year, and I've come off all medication completely. Only needed ventolin once in that time. Considering I've ended up in hospital for weeks in the past due to asthma attacks this was an amazing improvement (oddly coincided with getting a dog?!). However in the past week, I've decided to start back up on inhaled steroid (Clenil) just in case. But for now, I'm just being extra cautious. -Matt | |||

"I have the 2nd worse kind of asthma you can get (the worst one is well over 90% mortality rate and usually die before diagnosed ) not worrying but in 12 weeks isolation ... chest infections/flu/phenomena can all kill me Such is life ... " Luckily it's incredibly rare on the positive ... bad luck for me | |||

"My mum has asthmas, high blood pressure and type 2 Diabetes. She is working (Runs her own Care Agency) but she has said nobody is to enter her office, they have to chat from the doorway. She feels its reassuring for the staff to know a Manager is working with them rather than her working from home and the staff being out in the Community, giving it a “them and us feeling” as she thinks it would cause disharmony. I’m not entirely happy about it as she’s my mum and my only relative (apart from my kids) but she’s a stubborn woman. She’s washing hands when coming in from work and then is tucked away in her room and me and the kids are in our room. She’s taking her normal medication. She did say if she had a letter from the Hospital whose care she is under then she would work from home. She’s 68. " Wow! What an example but staying safe is important too! Take care y'all | |||

So for the time being I'm back on opioids - not sure about steroids and Covid 19 but they're the usual first line after clenil / salbutamol for my annual asthma / chest infection debacle.
