Hi, Hope everyone is doing ok during these surreal times. I had my 2nd baby in January and was due to restart meds postnatally but it was delayed due to the current crisis. I've been well despite the increased risk after a baby but my neuro rang and advised me to go back on to keep the risk of rel...

Good news BBC news today article saying that Australian scientists have discovered that the cells that fight the Coronavirus are the Tcells. Considering Ocrelizumab kills the Bcells that’s a reason to celebrate me thinks. Just had my first full dose infusion two days ago. Feeling great. Highly recom...

I’m on ocrelizemab should I be completely self isolating or am I still okay to go to work. I’ve tried ring my GP and was expecting a call back today but didn’t get one and I have work in the morning and not sure what to do....

Hey guys, Just need some advice on what people might think on what I should do. I’m so worried over this virus going around and it’s spreading like wildfire and I’m still currently working in a factory with a lot of people and I feel as if I need to isolate myself.

Hi everyone, I am in the UK and am due to travel for work this week. Tbh I don’t really want to, due to the measures I think will be in place in less than two weeks whereby the Govt says vulnerable people should stay at home - am thinking why not get ahead of the curve and start distancing myself fr...

What else but Covid-19? Brandon makes a 17 min long video (what else are you going to do whilst locked indoors cowering from the diseased masses?) with detailed explanations. - Different vibe from Aaron Boster and well worth subscribing to his channel too. - https://youtu.be/qpqPj97kimE

If you are in the minority with me, those who enjoy going "Full Nerd", then get stuck into this. P. 12 para 4 and 6 make no mention of immunosuppressed patients and I wonder if that is because the use of such medicines is not widespread in China? Enjoy, https://www.who.int/docs/default-source/...
