Shielding

Hi everyone, especially those with PPMS, I watched a video of Prof G via ms society & im sure one of his slides said progressive ms patients should shield. Is that correct? Colette

Hello @collettepage. I may be wrong, but.....in the beginning, we were all lumped in the Vulnerable category. Then that divided into Highly Vulnerable and Clinically Vulnerable which is pretty much where we are positioned. To add to the confusion, some Local Authorities have slightly different criteria. Also, some DMDs are higher/lower risk. It's all a bit confusing! The best bet would be to ask your MS nurse or better still, check with your GP. Sorry that's not a great help!

@vixen, thanks. I know it’s all as clear as mud! I’ve pretty much chose to shield myself to a certain degree. I’m not on any meds & although being considered for Ocrelizumab that’s been halted for now. Colette x
