Work.

I cannot get a hold of my MS nurse, so I wonder if anyone can help steer me in the right direction. I have RRMS, 7 years in, I have never used DMD's. My symptoms are mainly sensory, weakness and fatigue. I work as a hospital based cancer nurse and I have no idea if I should continue to do so in the current climate. I'm mainly office based, with a team of 7 other people but we work across the surgery and oncology depts..so social distancing becomes albeit impossible. My work have asked me for clarity as to whether I should be at work or not. I have extreme anxiety, and I'm very tearful at the moment, brought on, I think by the situation we're all in - another new thing is that my legs are heavy and feel jelly like at the same time - they feel like they are shaking on the inside but have kead boits on and I have increased nerve pain especially on my left thigh,like prickling, oh and an itchy crawly feeling on my shins. I have left sided arm and shoulder pain which is not that new for me, and my fatigue and brain fog are in top notch condition just now, unfortunately... Is anyone else in a similar position that could offer me any advice,please?? TIA, Deborah

@irishangel111 , you should check out some of the links provided by @dominic in his daliy Covid-19 updates. My understanding is that you are no more at risk than anyone else, so normal precautions that nurses normally follow. Your present level of stress/anxiety is probably responsible for your MS symptoms "grumbling". Now you know where you stand, hopefully these levels will now decrease. Just take care and know that you, and your colleagues, are very much appreciated for what you do.
